WELCOME TO THE PALOS VERDES PENINSULA SUMMER SCHOOL PROGRAM,
SPONSORED BY THE PENINSULA EDUCATION FOUNDATION

Palos Verdes Peninsula Summer School, PVPSS, offers outstanding summer courses and workshops for students entering grades TK – 12.  The high school program offers both academic courses for advancement (UC/CSU/NCAA/WASC accredited), as well as enrichment workshops.  Please see the tabs above for details.

Palos Verdes Peninsula Summer School (PVPSS) offers summer academic and enrichment programs to support and supplement those offered by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD). PVPSS is a separate organization operating under the Peninsula Education Foundation (PEF) and is not a part of PVPUSD. PVPSS welcomes students from other districts.  PVPSS does not receive any funding from the state or federal government and operates without public financial support. While we work collaboratively, PVPSS operates independently from the school district. Our use of the facilities is based on a rental arrangement, meaning PVPSS rents the space from PVPUSD rather than being owned, operated, or governed by the district. This distinction is important to clarify our organizational structure and relationship with PVPUSD.  The mission of Peninsula Education Foundation is to raise and grant funds to enhance educational excellence for Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District (PVPUSD) students.

All PVPSS sites have administrative staff that have been trained in first aid and CPR. In addition, we have support from the PVPUSD summer school nurse. All students with individualize medical needs will have a plan in place that the family and site staff agree to prior to the first day of summer school. Once your student is registered, we will reach out to schedule a meeting.
