Summer Learning

During the month of July, School District No. 73 offers a number of learning opportunities for elementary and secondary students. The courses are free to eligible students (under 19 years of age and not graduated). All courses and programs are subject to minimum enrollment.

Secondary Summer School

Summer School is intended for students exiting grades 8-12 who did not pass a core course and would prefer not to repeat the course the following school year. 

• Remedial courses are for students who achieved at least 40 percent in a course. Remedial courses have 40 hours of instruction. Students who successfully complete a remedial course receive a "C.” Students who wish to achieve a higher mark than "C" should take a full-credit course. From 8:45 am – 11:00 am.
• Full-credit courses are for students who achieved less than 40 percent in a course. Full-credit courses have 80 hours of instruction, from 8:45 am - 1:45 pm.

Elementary Summer School 

Elementary Programs 

Registration for the Summer Math Program and the Primary Summer Reading is done on a referral basis at your child's school.

Summer Math Program is intended for students exiting grades 4-7 referred by their classroom teacher because they would benefit from building skills and confidence in math. The focus is on number sense, patterns, and numeracy relationships.

Primary Summer Reading is intended for students exiting grades 1, 2, or 3 referred by their classroom teacher because they would benefit from extra support with reading. The focus is on comprehensive whole class literacy instruction and personal reading conferences.
