Summer School 2023

The purpose of the Halifax Regional Centre for Education's Summer School Program is to provide an opportunity for students to complete course outcomes in specific subjects already taken during the current school year. Summer School programs will enhance skills, knowledge and confidence of the subject.

The Summer School Program provides students a second opportunity to complete course outcomes through one of two choices: Credit Recovery or Full Course.

The Summer School Program is also offering two Mathematics 9 refresher sessions for students who wish to strengthen their skills, knowledge and confidence of specific topics in Mathematics 9. More information regarding the Mathematics 9 refresher sessions is below.

Credit Recovery

Designed to provide students with an opportunity to recover failed credits and to acquire the requisite knowledge and skills to be successful in further learning. The Credit Recovery program is designed so that, if the student meets all expectations during Credit Recovery, they will be assigned a mark of 50%. To be eligible to complete course outcomes through Credit Recovery, students must have received a final course mark of 40-49%.

Full Course

Designed to provide students complete course outcomes for the full duration of Summer School (July 4-31). The grade you earn during Summer School will be forwarded to your respective high school to be included in your transcript. Students with a final course mark of 39% or less in grade 10-12 mathematics courses or a mark less than 50% in Mathematics 9 must take the Full Course option.

Full course support will be in person onsite sessions with the teacher.

Refresher Sessions (Mathematics 9)

Students who wish to enhance their understanding of Mathematics 9 can enroll in one or both of the refresher sessions:

• Session 1 (July 4-17): Powers, Exponents, Rational Numbers, Square Roots and Surface Area
• Session 2 (July 18-31): Polynomials and Linear Relations

Refresher Sessions will be onsite sessions with the teacher.
