Hawken Summer Studies is a 6-week summer program of credit, review, preview, and enrichment classes for students entering grades 6 - 12. This year, we offer in-person classes on our Gates Mills and University Circle campuses and remote classes that are taken in the comfort of your own home.
We offer mathematics, science, English, writing, critical reading, SAT & ACT prep, and health studies courses. We also provide independent study and credit support classes. The Summer Studies program is open to public, parochial, home, and private school students except where noted.
Registration
Early registration is encouraged and allows us to guarantee course offerings at earlier dates as soon as the enrollment is sufficient. Registration is available online by visiting hawken.edu/summer. A $40 registration fee must accompany the registration form.
Course Cancellation
If enrollment is insufficient for a course to run, we will notify families by May 1st, and deposits will be refunded.
Balances are due June 13, the Friday before the first classes/camps start.

Conditions of Enrollment
Hawken Summer Studies requires that all students subscribe to the following conditions of enrollment. The $40 non-refundable registration fee secures a student’s place in classes until Friday, June 13, when full payment is due. If a student registers and then withdraws from a class before the end of the first week of that class, one-half of the tuition will be refunded. No refunds will be made thereafter. Hawken Summer Studies reserves the right to cancel any course for which there is insufficient enrollment. If enrollment is insufficient for a course to run, we will notify families by May 1st, and deposits will be refunded. To balance enrollments and ensure reasonably sized classes, it may be necessary to change a student’s selected class time if multiple sections of a course are offered.
