Summer Academic and Enrichment Courses Entering Grades PreK4-12
For over 25 years, summer at Duchesne has been a beloved destination for a safe, fun, nurturing, educational, and enriching summer experience.
Students entering grades PreK-4-12 can create a schedule from over 100 classes covering a wide variety of topics, including academics, sports, art, science, technology, cooking, movement, and more.
Our students come from the greater Houston area and beyond to experience our program, led by Duchesne faculty, staff, alumnae as well as local certified teachers and trusted business partners.
Join us for a fun, nurturing experience which is what the HEART of your child's summer should be!
