Does your child need to take remedial classes? It's a great opportunity to review a subject without having to repeat the entire year!
Psst! Alloprof is here to help, and a brand-new Summer School Survival Guide is now available. You’ll find exam simulations, printable tools, and more – all organized by subject. It has everything your child needs to prepare for their exam retakes.
Sometimes, despite their best efforts, a student may not receive a passing grade in a course. Rather than repeating the year, your child could just redo the course during the summer.
Summer school overview:
- Most school boards offer summer courses.
- Some schools reserve summer school for students with a final grade of 50 to 59 percent.
- Depending on the school board, summer courses may include History, French, English, Science, and Mathematics.
- Summer courses are held Monday to Friday for two to three hours per day.
- Classes generally run from mid-July to early August.
- Courses end with an exam.
- Taking summer courses is not mandatory to take the exam. However, it is strongly encouraged.
After failing a subject, a student will receive a letter with their third report card suggesting that they attend summer school.
Keep the following in mind:
- You can sign up in early summer on a registration day organized by the school board.
- Be prepared to pay a registration fee.
- A guidance counsellor may be available on registration day to answer your questions.
For more details, contact your child’s school or school board.
This summer, the Alloprof team will be ready to support students preparing to retake an exam. Students can access our services from July 13 to August 3, this year.
You can get in touch with a teacher by phone, by chat or by text message.
