In 2009, FVS offered three summer programs.

International Student Enrichment Program
The goal of this program is to welcome incoming international students who seek to get a head start on their experience at Fountain Valley School. For returning international students, this program is an opportunity to brush up on and improve academic English. In addition, all students benefit from the time to recover from jet lag and adjust to the athletic demands at FVS.

Cross Country Academy
The Fountain Valley School Cross Country Academy is the perfect end to a summer away from your team and the best way to prepare for the start of the season. Participants get advice and learn valuable lessons from expert coaches who have a passion for running and working with young athletes. Campers leave the FVS Cross Country Academy 100 percent healthy, fit, and eager to begin working with their team to reach their goals.

Girls Lacrosse Clinics
FVS offered two separate opportunities for girls to learn important skills in the game of lacrosse - one of the fastest-growing sports in the west. Girls in 7th-12th grade participated in a series of clinics being held Tuesday and Thursdays evenings in July. Younger girls (3rd-7th grade) participated in a five-day camp taking place in the morning during the week of July 27-31.
