Hi,

Yours aren't very natural to my ear. This sounds better to me:

I didn't want to pay for the three-month course, so I decided not to go to summer school.

Here's the full context:

I didn't want to pay for three months of class, and end up going to half of it, so I decided not to take summer school this year.

Would yours still be the more fluent way of saying it? I'm trying to emphasize the wasting of class.

Thanks!

If you feel you must emphasize that point, then that sentence of mine won't do, no. However, three months of class is not exactly music to this particular native ear, but, hey, that's just me.

I didn't want to pay for the whole three-month course and attend only half of it, so I decided not to go to summer school this year.

To take school isn't very idiomatic, but you can take a course or a class or a lesson.
