Summer School

Students are encouraged to speak with Student Service Staff at lunchtime or by appointment with their Guidance Counsellor before requesting registration for Summer School.

The OCDSB is offering a variety of summer school courses for students in the Summer 2024 program. Courses are being offered in person, virtually (synchronous) and via eLearning (non-synchronous). All courses are contingent on enrollment. Early registration is encouraged.

We encourage students and their families to carefully review the information provided to explore options, and determine which course and learning mode is best suited to their needs and interests.


IMPORTANT

- Students are required to attend the full Summer School session (110 hours) to meet curriculum expectations outlined by the Ministry of Education. Vacations and holidays should not be taken for the duration of the course.
- A student may only enroll in one Summer School credit course of any kind (i.e., one Reach Ahead course or one eLearning course, etc).
- Students are expected to be in Canada during the duration of the session.

Reach Ahead Credit Summer Program

PROGRAM DURATION: July 4 - July 26, 2024
CLASS TIMES: 8:30 am - 3:35 pm

The Reach Ahead Credit Program provides an opportunity for students to supplement and enrich their High School Education by acquiring one credit. Students who have already successfully completed a course but want to upgrade their mark are eligible to repeat a course in the Reach Ahead Credit Program. In-person courses are available, as well as remote (virtual) courses that are offered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous online instruction. A student may only enroll in one Summer School credit course of any kind in Summer School (i.e., one Reach-ahead course or one eLearning course, etc).

eLearning Summer Program

PROGRAM DURATION: July 3 - July 31, 2024
CLASS TIMES: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm (guideline)

The eLearning courses are delivered asynchronously through the VLE and meet the mandatory eLearning graduation requirement. The Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) contains all of the lessons, tools, assignments and evaluations the students will need to complete the course. The teacher will be more of a facilitator than a lecturer and students can expect to be more actively engaged in their own learning. There are specific tasks and/or assessments due each day with expectations of completing one lesson per day (20 lessons in total). Students will read, work independently or as a member of a group, complete assignments and interact with their teacher and classmates mostly via email and a discussion board, with some communication by phone or web conference, from July 3 to July 31, 2024. Although students may have the flexibility to schedule time for this course when they are the most productive, they will have to manage their time effectively and remember to login to the course daily. The Summer eLearning timeframe is short. Students registering for an eLearning course in the summer need to dedicate the same amount of time on elearning courses as they would be spending on in-person courses.

In each eLearning course, the teacher will schedule one hour each per day as virtual office time. This will provide students with an opportunity to connect directly with their teacher each day via Google Meet.
