Cambridge International Academy offers online courses from grades 3 to 12 during the summer of 2020. The specific courses are as follows: 1) For grades 3-8, our school offers various courses in English, Mathematics, French, Public Speaking, and Coding; 2) Non-credit courses for grades 9-12, including high school preparatory classes for grade 9; 3) Credit courses for grades 9-12.

The school's 2020 summer courses will be taught Monday to Friday from July 6 to August 28, 2020. August 3 is a public holiday and there will be no class on that day.

Course features include:

•  Free diagnostic testing for English, French and Math.  The teacher will teach according to a student’s academic level.

• Courses are taught by experienced teachers familiar with the expectation from the Ontario Curriculum.

• Small class sizes; one to 10 teacher student ratio.

• Pending on the grade level and course, 30 to 60 minutes of homework will be assigned each day.

• Communication with parents in time manner.

• Teachers provide a student written report to parents twice a month.

The courses for grades 3-8 and the high school preparatory class for grade 9 are taught every day from Monday to Friday. The credit and non-credit courses for grades 9-12 are taught on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for two hours. Students will need to make an appointment with the teacher on Tuesdays and Thursdays to schedule a half-hour tutoring session.

To register for English Reading & Writing, French, and Math courses, our school will arrange diagnostic tests prior to the start of the class to determine a student’s level. Cambridge will assign a particular class that aligns with a student’s academic level and teach accordingly. At the same time, for all students, our school provides a free trial lesson. You can find out whether the course is suitable for your child through the trial lesson.

Teachers will assign 30-60 minutes of homework every day after class for each course. The amount of homework assigned depends on the grade level. The homework time for grades 3-5 is approximately 30 minutes, and the homework time for grades 6 and above is approximately 60 minutes.

If there are specific reasons to communicate with parents regarding their child about incomplete homework or assignments, the administrative team will contact the parents. Teachers will provide written reports to parents about their child’s learning progress twice a month; the middle and at the end of each month.

Non-credit courses mainly refer to students in grades 9-12, as well as students who will be promoted to grade 9 in September, hoping to improve their grades in a specific high course. Some students hope to keep up with the normal class progress in September, and some students hope to achieve better results in school learning in September. We will teach according to the level of the students.

The credit course for grades 9-12 refers to the report card issued by our school after the student completes the course. The credits obtained can be transferred to any high school in Ontario.

The length of time for credit courses and non-credit courses is the same. Both courses are completed in one month; 110 hours but the fees for the two courses are different.

If students need other courses, such as arts (Arts), Chinese (Mandarin), etc., please first register. As long as there are three students enrolled in a course, Cambridge International Academy will open a new class to accommodate the three students.
