Teacher Assistant Program

Grades 7-12

Summer Academy’s Teaching Assistant Program (TAP) matches you with an Academy teacher. You will experience what it is like to teach bright and talented students like you. TAP students need to be mature, responsible, dependable, caring, highly motivated, self-disciplined and have good interpersonal skills. You must be in good standing at your school with no disciplinary marks/actions on your record. Letters of recommendation will be part of the application process.

If you are interested in TAP, please call the Academy office at 763-528-4621. Clearly give your name and address and request that the Teaching Assistant Program informational material be sent to you.  You may also download the Teacher Assitant Program information material available at the bottom of this page.  Applications should be postmarked by April 27. During the first week of May applicants will receive a letter in the mail about whether they have been selected for the Teaching Assistant Program. Specific course assignments will be sent at a later date. Yes, former TAP students do need to reapply. Preference will be given to an applicant who has attended a prior Summer Academy as a student. TAP students are expected to commit to all 13 days of Summer Academy. There is no tuition charge to be in TAP.
