​Hawai‘i State Department of Education (HIDOE) schools will continue to offer a comprehensive menu of engaging summer programming to support student learning. 

“We aim to continue our momentum in accelerating student learning by ensuring that all students have equitable access to summer learning opportunities,” Superintendent Keith Hayashi said. “The robust summer learning programs offered by schools will provide students with personalized support based on specific needs ranging from remediation to advancement. We encourage families to reach out to their school for specific details on programs and registration.”

HIDOE summer programs and services, which span all grade levels from a transition program for incoming kindergartners to paid summer internships for graduating seniors, will be offered to students via the models described below. Families should check with their child’s school for specific details of each program. 

Official Summer School

The official HIDOE summer school program aims to provide students with supplementary instruction for student enrichment, remediation, credit advancement or credit recovery purposes for grades K-12. Students in grades 9-12 also have the opportunity to register for summer learning through Hawai‘i Online Courses (HOC), formerly known as E-School.

School-based Summer Learning Hubs

Summer learning hubs are designed at the school or complex area level based on student needs. Instruction is for remediation or credit recovery, intervention, enrichment, and transition programs. Program dates and instructional models will vary by school.

Kindergarten Summer Start

The Summer Start Kindergarten Transition Program provides a free, summer classroom experience for new incoming kindergartners with little or no preschool experience. Hosted at the child’s anticipated elementary school, the program focuses on student behaviors and school routines to increase students’ confidence and foster a sense of independence.
