Social Studies

Expectations for the Social Studies -1 stream are more challenging, particularly in areas of concept development, critical thinking and skill development. It is expected that students following this stream have an adept and broad understanding of vocabulary and strong decoding skills. They should be active, regular readers of text and visual prompts. Moreover, students should be prepared for sustained inquiry and research projects, and be able to show independence in learning.

The Social Studies -2 stream has more focus on skill building and is designed for those students who would experience difficulty in the advanced program and/or those students who do not need the -1 exam for post-secondary entrance requirements. Students should be ready for active, constant participation within the classroom and be willing to take responsibility for their learning.

Condensed classes

For students who would like to finish sooner, we offer our condensed classes which run daily for 15 days and end a week earlier than our other classes.

Students will receive confirmation emails by the third week of June with your Summer School class and teacher.
