West Suburban Summer School

Welcome to our 48th Summer Program

West Suburban Summer School (WSSS) offers summer classes to students entering grades 2-12 in the fall of the upcoming school year. WSSS serves students who demonstrate an intense interest/passion about a topic, and are comfortable moving at a faster pace or pursuing a topic in depth.  Instructors design enrichment classes in their area of expertise to provide students with unique experiences to challenge their abilities.

Classes are fee-based and designed to challenge the unique abilities of talented students.

  • Classes are focused on a theme that includes several disciplines such as math, science, writing, and art. Most classes are limited to sixteen students.
  • Students are invited to participate because of their recognized talents and academic strengths.
  • An invitation with a registration code is needed to register for classes.
  • This program is self-supporting. It is not funded by independent school districts or gifted and talented programs.
