Summer Advancement Program 2026

What are Summer Advancement Courses?

Credit Advancement classes are a great way for students to get acclimated to the Pinkerton Academy campus, get a head start, and help students complete graduation requirements.  This allows time during the school year for additional courses or a study hall. This program is intended for students who are taking these courses for the first time. Courses are not leveled and will receive a numerical grade that will count toward the student’s overall GPA at Pinkerton.

The credit-bearing courses fulfill Pinkerton Academy graduation requirements. They are the same courses that are offered during the regular school year and will be taught by Pinkerton Academy staff members.
