remedial classes
Explanation:
In a more general sense, you could consider a student to be on "academic probation", but that usually entails a requirement to maintain a certain grade point average in order to avoid suspension or dismisal.

Remedial classes allow the student to "catch up" or may be taken in advance of regular courses if the student is known to be behind in his or her schooling.

In a more general sense, you could consider a student to be on "academic probation", but that usually entails a requirement to maintain a certain grade point average in order to avoid suspension or dismisal.

Remedial classes allow the student to "catch up" or may be taken in advance of regular courses if the student is known to be behind in his or her schooling.

Example sentence(s):
  • If a student appears to be significantly behind the expected level for a class, a teacher may require them to take a remedial class.

summer school


Explanation:
Pelo que sei, não existe um termo exatamente como esse em Inglês.... acho que eles usam *summer school*.

Sugestão!!

"Acredito que a recuperação cursada nas férias possa ser traduzida como summer school. É verdade que se pode escolher fazer uma “summer school” — matérias eletivas, por exemplo –, mas também se encontram, na internet, vários usos no sentido de “curso fora do período do ano letivo para evitar ser reprovado”. Aqui vão dois exemplos: uma notícia da BBC e outra do New York Times."

"Outra hipótese para "summer school" poderia ser "aulas de recuperação durante o Verão", uma expressão de tipo sinónimo explicativo. ..."
