About
Summer Academy is a Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) program that runs each summer for students in K5 through 12th grade. The program includes traditional Summer Academy programming for grades K5–8, specialty courses for grades 1–12, acceleration courses for grades 7–12, credit recovery courses for grades 9–12, and special education programs for all grades. Breakfast and lunch are provided for all participants, and all MPS sites, including Summer Academy sites, are designated as safe havens.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: July 6–30, 2026, on weekdays from 8 a.m. to noon
• Price: There is no cost for any Summer Academy program for students living in the city of Milwaukee; non-Milwaukee residents must pay tuition costs of $500 at the time of registration.
Each summer, MPS runs Summer Academy as safe, free programming for City of Milwaukee residents who are currently in K5 through 12th grade. MPS students receive priority registration, and Summer Academy holds a graduation ceremony for any qualifying seniors. Afternoon wraparound and recreation programs through Milwaukee Recreation, as well as childcare at most sites, may require a fee. The city, county, MPS, and other partners are acting on students’ vision by offering extended hours of 5:30–10:30 p.m. Monday–Saturday at Twilight Centers and other locations, with 3-on-3s, DJs, dancing, and more to keep young people safe on summer nights.
