Summer School Math Courses Offered

The summer school office has just announced the math courses that will be offered this summer. Please note: these are face-to-face summer school courses that will be offered at various school sites. For online courses with VLN, registration has begun and you can register by going to VLN's website (click here).

Summer school courses fall in three different categories, and for each category, the courses offered are different:

Preview courses: for students who want to learn the key concepts and get a head start on a course they will be taking in the fall. Please note: preview courses are NON-CREDIT courses. Completion of a preview course does NOT give you the course credit. Math courses offered this summer include:
  • Math 8 and 9
  • Foundations of Math and Pre-calculus 10
  • Pre-calculus 11
  • Foundations of Math 11
Completion courses: for students who wish to obtain course credits. Students taking completion courses usually have a heavy academic load, and use the completion courses to lighten your load in the fall. Courses offered this summer include:
  • Foundations of Math and Pre-calculus 10
  • Apprenticeship & Workplace Math 10
  • Principles of Math 11 (please note: this course will no longer be offered in September 2011)
  • Principles of Math 12
  • Calculus 12
Remedial courses: these are courses offered for students who have taken the course, but are receiving a unsatisfactory mark that need to be improved, either for the purpose of taking the next level course, or to obtain permission to take a more challenging course. Courses include:
  • Math 8 and 9
  • Foundations of Math and Pre-calculus 10
  • Apprenticeship & Workplace Math 10
  • Principles of Math 11 (please note: this course will no longer be offered in September 2011)
To register for summer school courses, call 604-713-4550 or register online with the VSB (click here). To register online, you must have your provincial examination number (PEN), which can be found on your report card. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
