Time Commitment

Summer School programming is extremely condensed. This intensive pace requires students to be able to independently manage their course loads.   

• Most in-person courses run Monday - Friday, 8:15 AM to 12:42 PM. There is also an expectation of student independent work for a minimum of one additional hour each school day.
• Online courses require a minimum time commitment of five hours per weekday for 5-credit courses.

Credit Courses Available

• CALM
  
• English as an Additional Language (EAL)
• English Language Arts
• Mathematics
• Physical Education
• Sciences
• Social Sciences
• Social Studies

Registration

Students may register for a maximum of one course for summer school. Due to limited space and resources, only current CBE students in Grades 10 – 12 can register. Current CBE Grade 9 students can only register in Mathematics 15.

Contact your current school counsellor or school administrator to apply. Families will be notified by email between June 1 to 5 to confirm if their enrolment was accepted.

We have no capacity to register non-CBE students. Please go to Alberta Online Learning​ for online summer school options.
