Why Choose Calgary Academy’s Summer School?
For students like Karah P., Summer School benefited her studies.
A Grade 12 student and previous Summer School attendee, Karah credits the short program period for helping her focus. With approximately four weeks of classes, she completed her studies, took her diploma in August, and entered her senior year with a lighter course load.
“The most valuable part of Summer School for me was that I was able to focus entirely on the subject I was learning, and, because I learned it over such a short period of time, I didn’t have the chance to forget anything before my diploma.” – Karah
