Montrose School offers a variety of engaging programs for families seeking high quality and enriching summer activities. Courses and activities are designed to foster a unique and fun experience on the Montrose campus while students build connections with peers, learn new skills, enjoy fun activities, and make new friends. We are excited to have expanded our program!

Our new Summer Sampler sessions in June allow your student to try a little of everything through either a half-day or full-day option and bridge the gap between school letting out and summer!
. 
During our week-long sessions in July, students will delve deep into a subject that excites and engages them. Whether students decide to study the magic of Harry Potter, to learn analytical poetry skills through the works of current musical artists, or to improve their volleyball serve, they will leave with a new skill set to utilize in and beyond the classroom.

Taught and designed by our experienced alumnae, staff, and faculty, each class is designed to engage students in a small group atmosphere. All classes are intentional in size to maximize instruction and community building. We can't wait to welcome your excited students back onto campus this summer!

New! We will be offering a variety of academic classes to engage students with courses tailored to their interests and help prepare students for the upcoming school year. Later this month, we will be releasing the Montrose Summer Academy course list and registration!
