The American Academy Presents Summer School Done Right

SALT LAKE CITY - March 25, 2008 - High school students looking to earn school credit this summer can now do so affordably and conveniently, thanks to online summer school by The American Academy.

The American Academy provides accredited online summer school courses that fit into a student's summer schedule and transfer to any accredited high school. Students choose online from 233 courses, are assigned to a licensed teacher, and also receive access to free tutoring sessions from Tutor.com.

"Between summer jobs, camp, and socializing with friends, the traditional model of sitting in a classroom all summer just doesn't work for many students," said Rebekah Richards, senior vice president of academic affairs and school principal. "The American Academy gives them the ability to make up credits or get ahead on their own schedule and at their own pace. They don't have to miss out on summer activities."

Students taking courses at the American Academy this summer have access to individualized academic and study support, including:

• Access to licensed instructors for every course

• Online tutoring options, powered by Tutor.com, are available on-demand 24x7 for students who need a little extra support

• Resources for students and parents on The American Academy website, including a "How to Succeed in Summer School" podcast

• Subscription to the Online Summer School newsletter with tips, hints, and reminders to help keep students on track

The American Academy also announced that students who register before June 30 will receive a discount on tuition. Students can use the SUMMER2008 coupon code at checkout.

Enrollment is now open at The American Academy, and classes begin every Monday. For more information, please visit http://www.TheAmericanAcademy.com.
