Enrichment

Middle School enrichment is available for current 5th through 9th grade students. DCPS’ summer 2025 enrichment include both academic and non-academic opportunities that are designed to be exciting, engaging, and educational.

To be eligible for enrichment, students must be promoted at the conclusion of the 2024-2025 school year. Students who are not promoted, must attend academic recovery.

Academic Recovery

Middle School Academic Recovery is designed primarily for students in grade 6 through 8 who have been flagged for retention by their school principals. Students will be scheduled in both humanities and STEM courses. Students will be re-evaluated for promotion by their school principal following the conclusion of summer learning.
