Secondary Summer School Program
Remote (Synchronous) Learning Courses: Summer School
Synchronous Learning occurs when the teacher interacts with a student or group of students in real-time either online or through other means in relation to the course content, lessons, or assessment tools. Students are expected to be connected to their class during the posted times.
For the 2026 Secondary Summer School Program, we are offering Synchronous Learning (both New Credit and Upgrading Courses) starting on July 2, 2026 (Thursday) to July 27, 2026 (Monday).
These courses are offered through a mixture of synchronous (80%) and asynchronous (20%) instruction. The synchronous component of classes will be using either Brightspace D2L or Google Classroom with Zoom or Google Meet.
Please note:
Remote (Synchronous) Learning is only available to students who are under the age of 21.
Remote (Synchronous) Learning credit courses cannot be used to satisfy the Online Learning Graduation requirement, where students are required to complete two online learning credits as part of the 30 credits required for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

Course Listing - Remote (Synchronous) Learning: New Credit Courses
New Credit Courses (110 course hours): Open to all high school students and adults with the appropriate pre-requisites. Students may take a new credit, or re-take the entire course previously attempted to upgrade a mark.
Students may register for a maximum total of two new credit courses this summer or a combination of up to two upgrading courses during Session 1 and one new credit course in Session 2 or 3. Adult learners may only register for eClass (Asynchronous) learning.
Please note: Career Studies (GLC 2O3) and Civics and Citizenship (CHV 2O3) are two separate half-credit courses. Each half-credit course follows the same timelines as a new credit course. Therefore, students are expected to participate in each half-credit course for the entire session. Students interested in these half-credit courses must register in these courses separately.
Please note: You must have completed and have a successful mark in the prerequisite course (if applicable) to apply for a new credit course.
