Prince William County Public Schools

Program Course Offerings

Summer School

Students in grades 9-11 who have failed a course may take up to two high school courses for repeat (recovery) credit or one 2-week SOL remediation at no cost.

Seniors who are not on track to graduate in June, but are capable of graduating in July with additional targeted support, may earn additional verified credits to satisfy diploma requirements and graduate this summer.

Students will be enrolled in the second course once they have shown completion of the first course. Students must complete the first course by July 11, 2025 to start a second course.

High school students in grades 9-11 seeking a course for first time credit can explore Virtual Prince William (VPW) for online course options. Please visit the Virtual Prince William website for more information.

Students should speak with their school counselor to determine the best course or test to register for with the available summer options. Please note, these courses are not approved for NCAA eligibility. Students should utilize VPW or Virtual Virginia.
