We had shared last month about the Summer Institute Program (details linked) available for students entering Senior Kindergarten to Grade 8.
The board has now shared details about upcoming Grade 6, 7 and 8 Summer School (In-Person and Remote Learning). This 15-day literacy and numeracy program is designed to reinforce curriculum and is not an acceleration opportunity. Students must register in the program for their current school grade. (For example, a grade 7 student would register for the grade 7 program as it reinforces grade 7 content.) Additional resources are being added to this program to support student success in de-streamed Grade 9 programs. This program will be offered both in-person and through remote learning. Students must select their preference of learning model at the time of registration. The program will operate from July 8 to July 26, 2024 (8:45 am - 3:25 pm).
For more information, including registration information, see the linked 2024 Elementary Summer School landing page.
Grade 8 Reach Ahead Program
The York Region District School Board will once again be offering Grade 8 Reach Ahead programs where students can earn a high school credit! This course is for students who are currently completing Grade 8 and entering Grade 9 this Fall.
These 18-day acceleration courses start Wednesday, July 3 and end Friday, July 26.
Students are required to attend class from 8:45 a.m. to 3:33 p.m., with two 15-minute scheduled breaks and a 40-minute lunch period.
Register early to avoid disappointment. Decisions to run courses are based on sufficient enrolment and teacher availability.
