Use the summer to get ahead.

  • Lighten next year

    Take a compulsory credit now so your fall timetable has room for the courses you love — or a spare.

  • Upgrade a mark

    Retake a Grade 11 or 12 course to raise your university or college admission average before applications.

  • Graduate sooner

    Combine summer sessions with our four-term year to finish your diploma faster.

Small summer classes

Intensive, but never rushed.

Summer courses cover the same 110 hours of curriculum as a regular term, compressed into a focused month. With small classes and one subject at a time, you get the attention you need to master the material — and the marks to show for it.

Prefer to study from home? Most courses are also available through our online hybrid model.

    Advanced Functions

    Grade 12 · Mathematics

    This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.

    Functions

    Grade 11 · Mathematics

    This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

    Prereq: MPM2D

    Civics and Citizenship

    Grade 10 · Canadian and World Studies

    This course explores rights and responsibilities associated with being an active citizen in a democratic society. Students will explore issues of civic importance such as healthy schools, community planning, environmental responsibility, and the influence of social media, while developing their understanding of the role of civic engagement and of political processes in the local, national, and/or global community.

    Career Studies

    Grade 10 · Guidance and Career Education

    This course gives students the opportunity to develop the skills, knowledge, and habits that will support them in their education and career/life planning. Students will learn about global work trends, and seek opportunities within the school and community to expand and strengthen their transferable skills and their ability to adapt to the changing world of work. On the basis of exploration, reflective practice, and decision-making processes, students will make connections between their skills, interests, and values and their postsecondary options, whether in apprenticeship training, college, community living, university, or the workplace. They will set goals and create a plan for their first postsecondary year. As part of their preparation for the future, they will learn about personal financial management – including the variety of saving and borrowing tools available to them and how to use them to their advantage – and develop a budget for their first year after secondary school.

Each credit course includes 110 hours of instruction. In our four-term model you study two courses at a time and complete them in roughly ten weeks. Summer courses run for one month, and online students working full-time can often finish two courses in about two months.

Can I take a course while attending my regular high school?

Absolutely. Many of our students take a night-school, weekend, summer or online course to get ahead, free up their timetable or improve a mark — and we send the final mark to their home school.
