Summer School

Summer School is a great option for students who wish to complete an additional credit, upgrade a mark by repeating a course, or take part in Summer School Cooperative Education for experiential learning. Courses are offered for students starting grade 9 in September, as well as current grade 9 to 12 students.

 

Summer School is offered through our continuing education program and is an elective educational opportunity. Given the amount of learning hours that are required in such a short duration, Summer School may not be a good option for all learners. Please read all the learning commitments listed below.

2024 Summer School General Information:

  • Students are only permitted to enrol in 1 new credit course or 2 half-credit courses, with the exception of Co-op and Credit Recovery.
  • Given the short duration of Summer School, daily attendance and active engagement are essential for success. If a student does not actively engage in learning for 3 days, their credit will be at risk and the student will most likely be removed from the course.
  • Active engagement means submitting assignments, corresponding with the teacher, participating in discussion posts, and interacting with course content.

  

New Credit Online (eLearn) Courses:

  • Please click here for a list of online (eLearn) courses that will be offered.
  • Students who have a high degree of self motivation and the ability to work independently are best suited for online (eLearning) courses as all content is delivered asynchronously.
  • All full credit summer eLearning courses involve a minimum of 110 hours of asynchronous content and instruction. 
  • Students are expected to engage in 5.5 hours of asynchronous online learning per day (Monday to Friday) for the entire duration of summer school (20 days).
  • Given the short duration of summer school students must be able to keep up with daily course work and submit assignments on time.
  • Grade 9 de-streamed Math (MTH1W) will only be available to students who have already attempted the course.
  • Online courses do not have a final exam required as part of the summative assessment.
  • If you are registered for an online course and are planning to engage in learning while traveling outside of the country, you MUST set up an Multi Factor Authorization prior to the start of summer school. Please contact the LDCSB IT department via https://www.ldcsb.ca/apps/pages/ITSupport

  • Enrollment in Credit Recovery is to be completed by the student’s guidance counsellor.
  • In addition to a new credit course, students can enrol in 1 credit recovery course.
  • If a student is not enrolled in a new credit course, they can enrol in 2 credit recovery courses.
  • Credit Recovery will be offered online synchronously in two 10 day blocks (July 2-15 & July 16-29) if there is sufficient enrollment.
