BRSD is excited to be offering summer school from July 2-29, 2025. Courses will be offered online mostly asynchronously, but there will be regular opportunities for synchronous instruction and teacher support. Registration is open to students who have completed Grades 10-12. Students who are currently in grade 9 may only take limited courses. Diploma exams will be written from August 5-13, 2025, at Battle River Alternative Centre for Education (BRACE) in Camrose.
- All courses must be completed in July with students writing diploma exams as per scheduled dates in August. No extensions will be granted or carried over to the fall.
- Courses can’t be continued from June into Summer School
Request for Summer School: Students are to complete the form indicating which course they are wanting to take. This form will be open now until June 6. Once students have been approved, they will officially register and be required to pay the fee.
Cost: $45/course fee (BRSD students)
$65/course fee (non-BRSD students)
Important Considerations:
- All core subjects require approximately 3 -8 hours of work per day
- Students are only allowed to enroll in one core course
- All courses are offered subject to enrollment and availability
- All courses will be offered asynchronously online using Moodle platform
- Teachers are available during the day for help. There is no additional EA support so students must be able to work independently.
- The pace of Summer School is quick, with students working in a compressed learning atmosphere
- Students must have access to good quality wifi/internet and provide their own Chromebooks/laptops to access and complete courses
- Students' daily focus is required for optimal learning and success
