Can a student who has already graduated from high school take a Summer Learning course?

How will a parent know if their child should enrol in the Literacy or the Numeracy program?

• Literacy and Numeracy courses are designed for students who will benefit from increasing their competencies and knowledge in the subject matter by practicing the core skills in these areas of study.

• Literacy and Numeracy courses are targeted for students who have already taken Math 8 or 9 or English 8 or 9 but who need to further develop curricular competencies before entering the next level.  

How do the Math and English Foundations courses work?

• Students who register for Math 8 and 9 (Numeracy), or English 8 and 9 (Literacy) will be assessed on the first day of classes and then grouped based on skill level.

• This provides the opportunity for direct, individualized learning, and allows the teacher to focus on gaps in learning and the needs for support as demonstrated through the assessments.

If my child takes a Foundations course are they guaranteed to pass?

• No, there are no guarantees. Students who take Literacy or Numeracy 8 or 9 will be assessed accordingly and will earn a pass (meeting expectations) or a fail (not meeting expectations). The focus in the Foundations courses is on skill acquisition and refinement – not on grades.
