Overview
Cobb County School District’s Tuition Summer School is available
for currently enrolled Cobb County School District students in
grades 9 through 12. Courses may be taken for credit recovery or for
initial credit. Face-to-face courses are offered in the four core
areas and in health/personal fitness, however, courses actually
taught vary according to student demand. Courses for initial credit
are taught in a traditional format with a certified teacher planning
and leading instruction. Students wishing to recover credit may take
courses through the traditional approach or through computer-based
NovaNET. Students may take NovaNET courses in the four core subjects. Although credits earned through
Cobb County’s NovaNET count toward a student’s graduation
requirements and meet admissions requirements to post-secondary
institutions, NovaNET courses are not accepted by the NCAA for
athletic eligibility.
Cobb County Tuition Summer School makes every effort to accommodate
the needs of all students, however, registration for summer school
does not guarantee placement in any particular class, particular
period, or site. Placement is ultimately dependent upon the number
of students enrolling in a particular course.
In order to offer as many
classes as possible, all courses will be offered as half units with
'A' and 'B' classes available during two distinct sessions. Students
who need a 'Y' class or a whole unit, will simply register for an
'A' class during Session I and a 'B' class during Session II. This
change will better be able to accommodate the needs of students,
regardless of what schedule their high school uses. The change
should have no real impact on students who need a whole unit, but
those students needing only a half unit will enjoy the benefit of
completing summer school in just two weeks.
All students should consult their school counselor to assist them
with the registration process and to ensure that Tuition School is
their best option for earning additional credit toward graduation.

All NovaNET students and those students who registered for both 'A' and 'B' classes will begin on June 10 and continue into Session II.
Attendance: Since each summer school session lasts for only 10 days, daily attendance is critical. Missing a day in such a compressed schedule can drastically impact academic progress. For that reason, we ask that you do not plan trips, vacations, or appointments while summer school is in session. Any student missing 1.5 days during a session will be withdrawn from summer school and will not be issued a refund. However, students who are withdrawn for attendance during Session I may return for Session II if they have previously registered for a class being taught during that time period.
Graduation: The Summer School Graduation Ceremony will be held on July 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Osborne High School. Students completing high school graduation requirements through Tuition Summer School or through Cobb Virtual Academy may participate if they indicate their desire to do so and attend the required rehearsal.
