Danville summer learning starts as late school-choice window opens

Danville families have two school deadlines to watch as June begins: summer learning starts this week, and the district's late school-choice application window is now open for available seats.

Danville Public Schools says its 2026 summer learning opportunities include acceleration, remediation, credit recovery and enrichment. The first listed program, New High School Credit Summer School, runs June 2 through July 10 for grades 6-12. Other programs begin later in June and July.

• What to know: DPS says summer learning opportunities are offered at no cost, with transportation and meals provided.
• Choice window: The school-choice late application period runs June 1 through June 12, 2026, pending seat availability, with complete-application notifications listed for June 24.
• Program note: The district says applications for the Academy of Engineering and Technology and Piedmont Governor's School were limited to the February window.

Families should review the district's summer learning and school-choice pages before applying, because some academies are invitation-only, some require recommendations, and seat availability can vary by program.
