Saint Ignatius College Prep is excited to offer a variety of engaging summer courses and camps for both prospective students and our current students. Whether you are interested in global affairs, baseball, science, or beyond there is a place for you with the Wolfpack this summer!
Please know that many courses and camps fill quickly. All academic and most co-curricular offerings are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage you to register early in order to have the best opportunity to take the courses or camps you select.
Full attendance is necessary for the successful completion of a Summer Programs academic course. Particularly for the three-week courses, students are expected to attend class everyday. Please avoid signing up for classes on dates that may conflict with vacations and other summer camps.
For credit-earning and advancement courses for current students, the Summer Program classes follow the school's attendance expectation that students may not miss more than 10% of classes (which would be 2 days of the June session).
For current students and incoming freshmen, the cost is $650 for most credit-earning and advancement courses. It's $300 for three week prep courses. A few exceptions are noted in the specific course descriptions.
Most athletic and co-curricular camps are $155 per week, but there are a few programs with different costs. All costs and any discounted costs are reflected in the Campsite registration portal. For example, one week of a camp is $155, but if the student registers for two or more qualifying athletic or co-curricular camps, there is a 10% discount that is automatically applied in the Campsite registration system. Please see the specific camp descriptions and Campsite registration options for specific associated costs.
Payment in full is due with registration materials for all courses and camps except Theology: On Holy Ground and Great Cities. If extenuating circumstances arise, partial refunds for those who qualify will be available by contacting the Summer Programs Office. Financial aid is available for for current Ignatius students. Please contact Maureen Lonergan, maureen.lonergan@ignatius.org, for more information about refunds and please contact tuition@ignatius.org for questions about financial aid.
Saint Ignatius College Prep reserves the right to cancel a course or camp if minimum enrollment is not achieved.
There are a limited number of credit-earning courses offered for current and incoming Saint Ignatius students. For incoming freshmen, the credit-earning courses are Introduction to Art and Total Wellness 1. For current upperclassmen students, the credit-earning courses are the Major Authors Seminar: Jane Austen, Great Cities, and On Holy Ground.
The Math and Science Departments also offer courses for eligible students to advance in certain classes. Algebra I Survey, Algebra II/Trigonometry Survey, Precalculus Survey, and AP Biology Prep are advancement courses offered by recommendation of the Math and Science Departments, respectively.
All other courses, workshops, camps, and seminars are non-credit.

Students enter and exit the school building through the Walsh Garden Entrance by the gate in between the light at Blue Island and the main school doors.
Saint Ignatius does not have a summer bus service. However, we sell reduced-fare student Ventra cards and distribute reduced-fare Metra letters. Located next to the University of Illinois - Chicago campus on Roosevelt Road, Saint Ignatius is easily accessible by several CTA bus routes that link the school to downtown train stations and several CTA rail lines. The Blue Line "L" is just a ten-minute walk. By car, the school is within a few minutes of the Dan Ryan, Kennedy, Eisenhower, and Stevenson Expressways.
