Newport-Mesa Unified School District (NMUSD) is pleased to invite your student(s), who will be entering kindergarten through sixth grade in the 2026-27 school year, to participate in our Elementary Summer Programs. Families have the option between two different programs, the Summer Scholars Academy and the Summer Learning Program.
SUMMER SCHOLARS ACADEMY
The Summer Scholars Academy will operate Monday through Friday, June 15-July 10, 2026 (no school on June 19 or July 3). This program offers both a morning session (7:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.) focused on academics and a full-day option (7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.), with the extended day focused on enrichment activities.
LOCATIONS:
Students will be assigned to a specific school site based on proximity to their home school, availability, and school bus transportation needs.
