Secondary Summer School

The Columbia Summer SUNsation is a FREE summer program operated by the Columbia Public Schools and open to all Columbia students from prekindergarten (children entering kindergarten Fall 2024) through grade 7.

The Summer SUNsation program is scheduled daily from May 30 – June 26. (School will not be in session on June 19.) Summer programs operate at the same time schedule as the regular school year. (Except Ridgeway students will be on 8:20 – 3:20 schedule at West Blvd Elementary.)

The Elementary summer program operates in all elementary schools except:

• Benton students will attend Locust Street Expressive Arts Elementary
• Ridgeway students will attend West Blvd Elementary
• Two Mile Prairie students will attend Eliot Battle Elementary

The Middle School summer program operates in all middle schools except:

• Gentry Middle School students will attend John Warner Middle School
• Oakland Middle School students will attend Lange Middle School

Each morning students are involved in academic lessons that help students continue learning during the summer and prepare them for the next school year. Afternoon courses provide students with new adventures such as constructing models, solving puzzles, and creating new “worlds” on Minecraft. Afternoon courses emphasize “learning by doing” activities that combine fun and thinking skills. Course descriptions are available.

Bus transportation is provided using the same regular school year guidelines. Summer bus stops are determined on application forms received by April 26. Bus route information will be available on CPS Campus Parents on May 28. Students attending a school other than their home school because of summer maintenance will be bused to their summer school location. Parent transportation must be provided for students attending a school outside of their assigned attendance area.

Breakfast and lunch are served daily at all schools.
