Summer Institute
Summer Institute courses are tuition-based and offer students the opportunity to accelerate or advance their studies in a variety of subjects. Taking courses over the summer may also free up students' scheduling options during the school year. For the Summer of 2023, Hunterdon Central is able to supplement the tuition fees using federal grant funds and offer a significantly discounted tuition rate for in-district students. Students interested in Summer Institute courses should speak to their counselors.
