At Jean Vanier we are busily planning for the 2009-2010 school year. In particular, we are looking forward to welcoming another large number of new grade 9 students to our community.
For a teenager, it is natural to feel both excitement and anxiety when starting high school. To assist with the transition to high school, and to provide our new Grade 9 students with every opportunity to succeed at Jean Vanier, we are offering an exclusive Jean Vanier Summer School Program for incoming Jean Vanier Grade 9 students. These students will be supported by Jean Vanier teachers and Jean Vanier peer tutors. Five courses are being offered. This program will offer students the opportunity to:
-
Earn a high school credit BEFORE starting high school in September
-
Have curriculum delivered by Jean Vanier teachers
-
Learn new curriculum or work on important literacy and numeracy skills that will help them succeed in Grade 9
-
Take part in a high school experience before starting high school
-
Meet their new peers and Jean Vanier teachers
It is our hope that students taking part in this program will be well prepared in September to start a successful high school career.
There are a limited number of courses being offered and students will be accepted into the Jean Vanier Summer School Program on a first come basis. An application package, with full course descriptions, has already been mailed to all incoming Grade 9 students. You can download the package below. Application deadline is Friday, June 05.
