SUMMER
2025
Dear Students and Parents,
I am excited to share with you this guide to the QSI Virtual Summer School program for the summer of
2025. For several years now, QSI Virtual has been offering students the opportunity to get ahead or catch
up in their learning over the summer months. This year we are excited to continue this tradition!
For this summer, our summer school program runs for ten weeks, from 16 June until 22 August. We will
continue to offer a full range of courses for the summer school program. We will also be offering our
summer Intensive English program with live daily synchronous lessons from 30 June until 8 August.
I hope you find this guide helpful, and if you have any questions about the program, please do not
hesitate to reach out. We look forward to working with you and helping you reach your academic goals
this summer!
Sincerely,
Tim Macmillan
Director of QSI Virtual
