Virtual Academic Summer Learning 2025

Detailed Information on 2025 Virtual Academic Summer Learning

Academic Summer School - TJ Students Only

 

Where

 

Summer School will be held virtually

6560 Braddock Rd., Alexandria, VA 22312

 

Why Virtually

 

  • Innovation: A virtual summer school model and the types of activities, including virtual lab experiences, are reflective of contemporary educational and STEM industry environments.
  • Sustainability: Revenues generated during summer programs struggle to keep pace with operating and personnel costs; therefore, we remain committed to supporting fundamental STEM courses and are unable to expand offerings at this time.
  • Accessibility: TJ serves nearly 1,300 square miles of Northern Virginia, and the TJ transportation models used by all sending jurisdictions during the regular academic year are not possible during summer months, resulting in commuting barriers for families. Therefore, a virtual model creates equitable access.
