Summer Accelerator Online courses for rising 7th, 8th, and 9th graders
Accelerator Online courses for 7th- through 9th-graders will be conducted online for two weeks. The first week of each course takes place at the student’s own pace and will consist of about 5 hours of work. During the second week of each course, students will interact with their instructor and other students via video conferencing meetings and the course will be about 15 hours of work.
When you apply, you have the opportunity to choose your first and second-choice courses. You will also have the chance to choose courses over various weeks should you wish to apply for more than one course over the summer.
The fee for Accelerator Online (7th–9th) is $495. You may register for more than one course, but each course is its own Accelerator program.
Please note NCSSM Summer Programs will review applications mid-January 2025.
