Fusion's summer program
Help your child make the most of summer with our one-to-one summer classes, enrichment programs, and skill-building. Take advantage of flexible scheduling to customize a program that will let your student maintain momentum, catch up on credits, polish a skill, or get a jump-start for fall.

Our unique one-to-one approach to teaching, tutoring, and mentoring unleashes the potential of every child to learn in their own way—and it works! It’s what makes Fusion the best place for your student to get ahead this summer, while still allowing time for fun, friends, and family.

You can find more details about the summer program in our online brochure.

 

Classes for credit
Retake a class, get ahead of peers, ease stress for next year or replace a poor grade on a transcript with our available summer classes for credit. All of our classes for credit are taught with a one-to-one ratio, with curriculum individually tailored to each student’s unique personality and learning style. They are accepted as transferable units by most high schools.

Each student is required to attend 17 instructional sessions per semester, but some courses will require an extension of time to meet graduation requirements. Students can begin a class at any time of the year.

You will find a list of available classes on our classes for credit page.

Essay writing
One of our most popular summer programs! Michelle Rose Gilman’s Hamburger Writing curriculum teaches students how to write the standard five-paragraph essay. Using the analogy of a hamburger, students learn where to insert important information and where and how to place ideas for maximum effectiveness.

Our summer essay writing classes are aimed at students in elementary school through graduate school who want or need to improve their writing skills.

Novel pre-reading

This class is designed for elementary through high school students who struggle with particular subjects and/or need to grow their confidence and mastery level in a specific subject.

Get-ahead program
Get a jump on next school year’s curriculum. Using the student’s own textbooks, this class functions as a “preview” of the upcoming year, instructing students how to approach the information with confidence. The program is offered in all subject areas. Study skills, note taking, and test preparation are also taught in this program, using students’ textbooks as well as an immersion in Michelle Rose Gilman’s “Study Tricks and Hot Tips.”

SAT & ACT prep
This course reviews the foundation of the SAT or ACT and teaches specific tactics and techniques to raise a student’s score on the test.
