2026 Summer Intermediate Programs
New Summer, New Classes and New Flexibility in Scheduling!
This year, we are introducing a new, more flexible summer school format designed to fit your schedule and your interests. Instead of committing to a full day, students can build a personalized schedule – choosing anywhere from one to four classes. Attend for the full day, just the morning, just the afternoon, or any combination that works best. Sample schedules are listed below under DAILY SCHEDULE SAMPLE SCHEDULES.
Students can enroll in classes at any participating campus, not just the one they attend during the school year. Transportation is not provided, but PV Transit buses will run to program sites to help with access.
If a class you want is full, join the waitlist and select a backup option. We will do our best to add additional sections for high-demand classes whenever possible.
The classes listed below will be held at PVHS and are open to all grade appropriate students. You can click on the below links to register.
- Bridge to Algebra: 8th grade students
- Stage Production: 7th – 9th grade students
- Algebra 1 & 2 Prep: 8th grade students
- Geometry Prep: 8th grade students

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 Supplementary Education Program operating under 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 a certified school nurse. All students with individualized 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.
