Yes, our Summer School Program is open to students currently enrolled at Seisen International School as well as students from other schools.

Students in summer school should be potty trained, though teachers are prepared to support students who might have occasional accidents. Students currently in the two-year-old Buttercup class are encouraged to attend summer school as part of their transition to a mixed-age class. Parents/guardians can check with the Buttercup teachers if they have questions about this transition. 

Sudents cannot take only session 1 and 3 in MS/HS due to supervision challenges.

Students will be informed of any specific needs for supplies for courses and programs if and when applicable.

There is a possibility for some courses to fill up quickly due to limited space. Spots will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis, hourly. Registrations do not need to be locked in within the first few minutes of opening. All registrations within the same hour are treated equally. 

Spots are allocated randomly if registrations exceed the number of available spots within an hour. For example, if a middle school class is limited to 15 spots, and 17 students register during the first hour, 15 students will be assigned randomly, and 2 students will go on a waiting list, pending the payment of registration fees. If this happens, we will notify you in advance of the official confirmation in April. 

Even if certain courses fill up, alternative options are available for anyone who wants to participate in Summer School!

All Summer School teachers are current faculty at Seisen International School this school year. Classes in Kindergarten and Elementary School are not assigned until enrollment numbers are confirmed.

In Kindergarten we do our best to accommodate students with a teacher or group of students they are familiar with.

We will have a full-time nurse on campus during summer school. Additionally, there will always be a member of the leadership team on campus to coordinate in the case of emergencies. Students will also be supervised during break and lunch times.

Students are not required to wear school uniform. They should wear clothing that is suitable for the activities and courses that they have selected. More guidance will be provided by course instructors when necessary.

The cafeteria, ES library, Jungle Gym, and MS/HS libraries will be open from 8 am.

• KG students arriving by bus will be taken to the Kindergarten.
• KG students coming to school by car, walking, or by bycicle should start arriving from 8:15 am.
• ES students can go to their classrooms from 8:25 am.
  • (From 8-8:25 they can choose to go to cafeteria, ES library, Jungle Gym)
• MS/HS students can go to their classes at 8:25.

Based on the needs of our Buttercup students who will enter our Marigold program the following year, we will have a designated, optional nap time for students who need it.

We encourage current Marigold students to go without a nap as part of their transition to the full-day program. However, these students may be able to take a nap if needed. In general, students ages 4 and up do not take naps. 

Parents of new students entering the three-year-old Marigold program can contact Summer School teachers in mid-May, after class lists and teachers are shared, to let them know about their child’s napping patterns.

Yes, our library will be open for all Summer School students.
