GET AHEAD ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL STUDIES

During July 2008, the Department of Education will be offering summer school courses for secondary students who have not successfully passed the final exam for a course and who wish to strengthen their skills in one of these core academic subjects:

  • English 8
  • English 9
  • English 10
  • English 11
  • Principles of Math 8
  • Principles of Math 9
  • Principles of Math 10
  • Principles of Math 11
  • Principles of Math 12

Courses will be offered based on a minimum of 6 students per class.
Fees for the above courses will be $125.00.

Principles of Math 12 will be offered for students who have not passed the course or for those who wish to improve their understanding and rewrite the BC Departmental exam in August.

Students of Grade 9 Math and English will write the Yukon Achievement Test.  If they achieve a standing of 80% or better, they will be eligible for the Yukon Excellence Award. A mid-term and a final report will be issued.  Final marks will be given and recommendations for appropriate placement will be forwarded to the school that the student will be attending in September 2008.

Students of Math and English 10 are required to write (or have written) the respective BC Provincial Exam.  If students have already written the exam, they are not required to rewrite.  However, if they wish to re-write, they may do so at one of the scheduled sittings at their school next year, October 2008, November 2008 or January 2009.  The teacher will have information regarding these exams.

Class sizes will be limited in order to provide a high degree of individual instruction.
