No, there is not. VUSD currently offers credit recovery courses for high school students only.

Our summer programs will be designated for VUSD students. We will maintain a waiting list of private and charter school students who would like to attend our programs. They will only be enrolled if space allows in July and we will not make that determination until after the last day of school.  Students who are currently not enrolled but who will be attending VUSD in the fall can be enrolled by VUSD Summer School staff. If you need to register or would like to be added to the waiting list please contact 805-641-5000 ext. 1380 or 1025 English / 1036 Spanish or email us at expandedlearning@venturausd.org
