Archbishop Anthony Meagher Catholic Continuing Education Centre offers a number of summer courses and programs for students in elementary and secondary school. 

Elementary Programs and Courses

Are you a Grade 8 student starting high school in the fall? The Head Start Programis available to all Grade 8 students going into Grade 9 at one of our Durham Catholic District School Board high schools and will run August 19 - 22. The program involves a review of literacy and numeracy skills and provides students with a preview of the Grade 9 curriculum for Mathematics and English. Study skills and health and well-being are also integrated into the program.  

In-person camps with a focus on literacy and numeracy are filling quickly, but there are still spots available. Students who are completing Grades 6, 7 or 8 can register for the following camp offerings: CABS Multi-Sports, Digital Literacy, Recreation and Fitness, Summer Arts, and Math. Dates, times, location and registration details for each camp are available on the Continuing Education website (www.con-ed.ca). Camp enrolment is determined on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The Literacy and Math including French Immersion for Grades 6, 7, & 8online summer program is designed for students who would benefit from additional practice and assistance in literacy and/or math to ease their transition into the next grade.  Students will participate in engaging lessons to meet their individual needs and learning styles. This program is non-credit and available July 2 – 12 and/or July 15 – 26.

Students who are in Grade 8 and will be attending a DCDSB high school and wish to register for a Grade 9 summer credit can take one high school credit through the Reach Ahead Program (July 3 – 26). Visit our webpage to view course offerings.
