MMSD Summer Learning & Programming
MMSD Summer Learning Programs provide students with additional learning time and well-rounded opportunities to discover new interests and talents, and the possibility to earn high school credits. There are a variety of programs available to students which empower students to feel engaged, connected and supported on their way to college, career and community readiness.
Summer Semester Dates are June 22 - July 31, 2026
Joining a Summer Program has many benefits and most programs are free!
- Academics & Enrichment: Students will develop key math and literacy skills while exploring other interests. They’ll also have the chance to build friendships and community with their peers over the summer.
- Breakfast and Lunch: MMSD believes that good nutrition is a key to learning. All students receive two free well-balanced meals that help meet students' nutrient and energy needs.
- Transportation: Some students may be eligible for transportation based on the program and distance between their home and summer site.
