​​​Summer School provides current CBE high school students the opportunity to either take one course or earn credits while gaining valuable work experience through off-campus opportunities.

• In-person courses are offered through Chinook Learning Services at multiple high schools throughout the city. Classes take place from July 2 to 25.
• Online courses are offered virtually through CBe-learn. Classes take place from June 30 to July 24.
• Summer off-campus courses are offered through Chinook Learning Services and Unique Pathways.
  

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 1:00 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
• Career & Technology Studies
• 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 high school counsellor or junior high school administrator to apply. Families will be notified by email between June 2 to 6 to confirm if their enrolment was accepted.

We do not have capacity to accommodate non-CBE students in summer school courses. Please go to Alberta Online Learning for online summer school options.
