Some schools offer it in person, some don't. MCPS has a central summer school that they offer to everyone. it's a few hours a day for a few weeks. Lots of busy work.

This is last years to give you an idea:

How do you sign up for health A for this summer? We are new to MCPS this year.
Thanks!

You can take health in school but many do it over the summer because they don't want to waste a class period to do something they enjoy more. It's a sole sucking class.

Last summer you could only do Health A. Probably this year they will have both but splitting it up over two summers is probably better given how terrible the class is.

There are art/music classes that are one semester too. But if your goal in taking health in summer school is to be able to load up on high academic rigor classes, it only really works if you take both A and B, which really ruins a lot of summer vacation time.

Or I guessyou could do what I did in HS/-brill in an AP and take it September to January, then drop it to take the state-mandated class for graduation and just self-study the rest of the AP class. When I did it, I would ditch my state-mandated class twice a week to sit in on my old AP class.

There are other one semester classes that can be taken in HS, such as PE, and other electives.

Starting this summer, you will be able to take Health A and/or Health B in summer school.

I'm a little bit confused on health. I know that you can only take health a in summer school. But in tenth grade, what would you do with the remaining semester leftover because you still have to take health b in person?
