The Bryn Mawr School

Summer Session

Summer Session at Bryn Mawr offers credit-bearing summer courses for Upper School students entering grades 9-12.

In keeping with our Bryn Mawr Way strategic plan goal of allowing more flexibility and individualization in the Upper School curriculum, Summer Session allows greater choice in how students complete their coursework. By taking credit-bearing classes during the summer, students can open up time for additional coursework or opt to create a better balance during the academic year. We also offer non-credit summer review courses for students to refresh or strengthen knowledge and skills before the academic year.
