Summer Academy

- Summer Academy offers an intensive, weeklong religious education experience for children in Grades 3–8. Families should be registered with St. Paul Parish and are encouraged to enroll their children in Religious Education beginning in Kindergarten (Grades K-2 should enroll in St. Paul School or Sunday PREP), ensuring consistent formation in the Catholic faith throughout the elementary years and a strong foundation for sacramental preparation when those years arrive.
  For families with younger children, Vacation Bible Camp runs concurrently with Summer Academy for children in grades not served by the program. VBC meets during the same week from 9:00am–12:00pm. Visit our Vacation Bible Camp page to learn more.
  
  Session for 2027

  Because of the intensive nature of the program, full attendance is mandatory.
  8th Graders: Students entering Grade 8 should visit our Sacramental Preparation page to learn more about the additional formation and requirements associated with that sacramental year.
  
  All Students: All students participating in Summer Academy must also participate in the Acts of Faith Passport program. This program requires year-round participation in the life of our parish.
- Important things to Note
  Students are required to attend all Summer Academy classes in order to move on to the next level the following year.
  Those preparing for Confirmation (8th grade) will take part in Zoom check-in sessions during the academic year and complete various tasks and assignments related to their preparation.
