Dear School District of Philadelphia Parents and Guardians,

I am pleased to announce that the School District of Philadelphia’s 2026 Summer Programs website is now live. Please visit here to explore our wide range of program offerings and register for or participate in the program that best suits your needs!

Our summer programs provide fun and safe environments for students to maintain and advance their education. The comprehensive programming offers options for School District of Philadelphia students of all ages – from enrichment-based learning to summer employment opportunities for high schoolers. This year, we have an exciting new program called Arts/Dance, in addition to ongoing programs like the Career and Technical Education Summer Camp. In collaboration with the City of Philadelphia’s Office of Children and Families, we also offer the Summer Achievers program. To learn more about all programs available this summer, please visit the summer programs website here.

All current District students, including those entering kindergarten in the fall, are eligible and encouraged to access the website and learn more about summer programs available. Seats are limited, andregistration does not guarantee enrollment. Please keep in mind that registration for most programs opens on April 6th, and will continue on a rolling basis until full. Some programs are invite-only, so registration will not be an option. Families and students will be notified about their enrollment status by mid-June. Please review program-specific information here.

Summer programming is one of the ways that the District is fulfilling its commitment to prepare our children to imagine and realize any future they desire. I hope you’ll consider this opportunity to enjoy an enriching and meaningful summer experience. For program details and contact information, please check the Summer Programs website.

In partnership,

Tony B. Watlington Sr., Ed.D.
Superintendent
The School District of Philadelphia
