Live-Online Format

All courses, excluding CALM 20, HCS 3000 and Religious Studies 15, 25, 35, will follow a synchronous online format to mirror the in-class experience as closely as possible. Research shows this is the most effective model of delivering online courses for student success. Teachers will instruct in real time and support students using videoconferencing tools such as Google Meet. Attendance is required for the entire duration of the class. Students will be engaged in lessons, activities, assessments and have independent work time which may occur offline at the teacher's discretion.

Note: All course offerings are subject to enrolment, teacher availability, consolidation and cancellation.

Schedule

• 3-Credit Courses: July 5–20, 2021
• 5-Credit Courses: July 5–30, 2021

Hours of Instruction

• Morning courses offerings: 8:15 a.m.- 12:15 p.m.

Self-Directed Format

We offer select courses in a self-directed format. Each course has mandatory student-teacher check-ins where students can ask questions and receive support. Previous exposure to the topic of study is highly recommended, as well as strong independent work habits.

Note: All course offerings are subject to enrolment, teacher availability, consolidation and cancellation.

Schedule

Outside of the check-ins, students will follow their own schedule to complete lessons and assignments between July 5–20, 2021 for 3-credit courses and July 5–30, 2021 for 5-credit courses.

It is important for students and their families to know that Summer School courses are offered at an accelerated pace and have increased difficulty for course completion. We encourage students who will complete Grade 9 in June 2021 and wish to enroll in Summer School to register in subject areas they are confident in. Students with appropriate prerequisites can enroll in 10-level courses, excluding Religion 15.
