We require all students to earn two enrichment credits in order to graduate. In order to help them accumulate these enrichment credits, we offer a robust summer school program. Since our inception, the summer school enrollment has averaged 50% of the student body. Summer classes must be attended by students who have failed classes and are open to all students who choose to take classes. The summer school meets for two 3-hour sessions for eight weeks. The programs offered are primarily reading and math courses, but occasionally science or social studies may be offered.

In the past summer, UIC College Prep offered two different reading classes, five levels of math, physical education, Russian, science, and three elective classes. 197 students participated in the Summer Academy, of which more than 70% were enrolled for enrichment credit, not make-up credit. In addition, all incoming freshman were tested in five different areas of reading (comprehension, fluency, spelling, vocabulary, and word recognition) and three different areas of math (pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry).

The Right Angle Foundation also sponsors many of our students to study at colleges across the country for 3 to 6 week periods during the summer. Students earn elective credits for enrolling and completing these summer study programs. Our students studied at colleges such as Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Georgetown, Cambridge, UCLA and Michigan.
