Newtown Continuing Education offers Summer Academic Enrichment programs for students exiting Kindergarten through 6th grades, who are recommended to receive additional support in Math and Language Arts (Reading/Writing). There are several programs to choose from.

A Middle School academic enrichment program, which provides additional support in Math, Language Arts and executive functioning skills is provided for students exiting 7th through 8th grades. Students attending this half-day program are also provided with enrichment opportunities to enhance their leisure opportunties. 

At the High School level, we offer High School students the opportunity to earn a PE 2, Health, Capstone or a Personal Finance credit during the summer; so that students can focus on other core subjects during their traditional school year (offered to incoming Juniors and Seniors only)

  • *Students who register for these programs and were not recommended (K-6 grades) will be placed on a waitlist for the program, as priority is given to those with an academic recommendation.

  • *Students enrolling in a High School course who do not meet the requirements, might not be issued a credit by their school. Please check with your guidance department and or school administrators to ensure you are eligible to attend. 

  • Please note, when registering for a HIGH SCHOOL program, if you are inelgible to attend and a refund is issued, a $50 fee is assessed.  

  • Please ensure all pre-requisite's have been met prior to registering for a high school program, otherwise credit will not be issued. 

  • Priority is given to Newtown Public School students for all programs.


​Thank you for your understanding. Please enroll as soon as possible, space is limited. 
 
The Health Education 2 course objectives include analyzing personal risk for and developing plans to cope with situations now and in the future that include unplanned or unprotected sexual behavior, teen pregnancy, birth control, depression and suicide, substance abuse, nutrition and stress management. Emphasis is on developing a personal

plan for health and wellness to carry students through high school and beyond. Global health issues are examined. Prerequisites: Health 01. This is an accelerated learning environment. 



This Health 2 offering is open to Students entering or exiting 11th grade only, who cannot fit the required Health 2 class into their regular school schedule in their upcoming Junior/Senior year. This course is only available to Newtown High School students. 



Prerequisite's: 
(It is your responsibility to ensure you meet these requirements prior to enrolling) 

  • Students must have already successfully completed Health 1. 

  • You must have completed 10th grade or 11th grade (entering or exiting 11th).  


Registration closes June 24, 2026. Enrollment is limited; on a first-come, first-served basis. Classes are dependent upon registration and may be cancelled with little notice due to low enrollment.



Things to Consider:


  • Students must commit to the full program hours, otherwise credit is not issued.

  • Students are expected to be dressed appropriately and must be ready to participate. Participation is a part of the grade.

  • All Newtown Board of Education Policies, as outlined in the Student Handbook should be followed.

  • If asked to leave the program by Newtown Continuing Education due to disciplinary reasons, course credit will not be issued and tuition is forfeited.

  • Because a commitment is needed to run the course, cancellation without 2-weeks’ notice is not refunded. Refunds cannot be issued for situations out of our control. 

  • A cancellation fee ($50) with 2 weeks’ notice is assessed. If you enroll without meeting the prerequisites, the cancellation fee is still assessed. 

  • A half credit is issued upon successful completion.
