SPEND YOUR SUMMER WITH IPSF 

Give your child a truly memorable summer experience this year through IPSF's Summer Enrichment Programs. Offered at various Irvine school campuses for incoming kindergarteners through high school seniors, our course offerings provide challenging and fun curriculum during the long summer break.  Get ready for new challenges with classes ranging from Jumpstart First Grade to Jumpstart Calculus or explore something new like fencing, stand up paddleboarding, and video game app development.  

 

Course catalogs are available online for IPSF K-8 Summer Enrichment Academy, High School Summer Academic Camps and IPSF Summer College at IVC. Summer Enrichment Academy registration began March 31; high school programs will begin registration on April 7th.  Program dates, times and prerequisites vary-please refer to the relevant course catalog for details. Information about all IPSF Summer Programs can also be found on our registration website.
