Summer School

Summer School is a great option for students who wish to complete an additional credit, upgrade a mark by repeating a course, or take part in Summer School Cooperative Education for experiential learning. Courses are offered for students starting grade 9 in September, as well as current grade 9 to 12 students.

 

Summer School is offered through our continuing education program and is an elective educational opportunity. Given the amount of learning hours that are required in such a short duration, Summer School may not be a good option for all learners. Please read all the learning commitments listed below.

 

How to Register:

  • Registration for Summer School is now open for current and future (September 2024) LDCSB students only.

    • Due to high demand from our rapidly growing student population, we are not able to accommodate requests from non-LDCSB students for the 2024 LDCSB Summer School program. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please check with your local school board(s) for available course offerings.
