    Credit acquisition and credit recovery opportunities will be conducted in person at CHS. Credit acquisition classes will follow an A/B day schedule with synchronous classes in person at CHS every other day. On the opposite day, students will be provided asynchronous work and will not attend in-person learning.  
     
    Credit recovery classes will meet on a daily basis for synchronous work at CHS for 90 minutes. 
     
    Students who would prefer to take online classes exclusively will be taught online by CHS teachers. In addition to daily, asynchronous assignments that require the ability to work independently, there will be optional weekly virtual meetings. Teachers will have online office hours and be available to help. Time will depend on the class and class duration should be about one hour. They are online and all instruction is asynchronous.

    Wydown Summer Academy - 

    The School District of Clayton offers several opportunities for students entering grades 6 - 8 to continue growing personally and academically. Through our Leadership Academy and Jump Start Math programs, students have options for summer learning while making connections to other Clayton students. 

    Wydown Summer Academy (WSA) will run from June 3 - 27 from 8:15 am-11:30 am at Clayton High School. Students have two different options from which to choose - Jump Start Math and Leadership Academy. Please note that a student can register for Leadership Academy or Jump Start Math but not both.

    Jump Start Math is a 4-week program from June 3 - June 27. During Jump Start Math students work toward enriching their math skills to prepare for the upcoming school year. Teachers use creative instruction such as games and other strategies to make engaging with math FUN!

    Leadership Academy offers two 2-week sessions. Session 1 is June 3 - June 13 and Session 2 is June 16 - June 27. Students can register for just one or both sessions. Leadership Academy uses project-based learning where students employ various skills to create a product to share with the community. This summer, Leadership Academy students engage in two projects per session: creating a podcast, documentary film or play and also designing, developing and building their own video games.  

    The final day to register for 2025 Wydown Summer Academy is April 18, 2025.  Click Here for the WSA brochure.

    Elementary Summer Academy

    Elementary Summer Academy (ESA) is an academic summer program designed to maintain and reinforce reading, writing, and math skills for selected Clayton students entering grades 1-5. ESA class sizes are smaller than the traditional school year, enabling staff to provide more personalized instruction. ESA teachers use a project-based learning approach that allows students to develop multiple academic and social emotional skills in hands-on, creative experiences. Participation in ESA is by teacher recommendation only.

    2025 Elementary Summer Academy will be held June 9 - July 3 from 8:30 am - Noon at Glenridge Elementary School.

    We encourage families to visit the Center of Clayton's website for future recreational opportunities in 2025.
