Plan your summer with IPSF! With both online and in-person classes offered, choose the format that works best for your family, or combine in-person and online classes for a blended experience. The session dates are the same for both formats.
Summer is the time to pursue interests, discover new passions, and brush up on fundamentals for the next school year. With hundreds of classes to choose from, your student is guaranteed to have a blast no matter where their interest lies. Our goal is to create a safe environment for your child to learn, grow, and above all HAVE FUN!

Elementary
Incoming Grades K-6
Avoid the summer brain drain with a wide range of academic and enrichment classes! Help your student get ready for the next school year with grade-specific prep classes, go back to the basics with our fundamentals series, or focus on fun with enrichment classes. Small learning groups ensure every student is engaged and getting the most out of their summer experience!
Middle School
Incoming Grades 7-8
Help ease the transition into middle school, or give your soon-to-be high school student a head start, with offerings in academic and elective-style classes.
