eLearning Summer School Secondary Credit
eLearning is available through Durham Continuing Education in July and August for a variety of Grade 10-12 courses. Courses in the program are recommended for secondary students who wish to gain up to one credit in a subject they have not previously studied or wish to upgrade a mark in a course that they have successfully completed. Please note: Civics (CHV2O1) and Career Studies (GLC2O1) require separate registrations.
This program is ideal for students who cannot attend the full 18 day in-class Summer School regular day schedule. Up to one credit will be granted upon successful completion of the course.
eLearning Secondary Courses
The Durham District School Board (DDSB) is excited to announce they will be offering a number of courses in an online eLearning platform.
eLearning provides students with a flexible alternative to the face-to-face classroom. This online setting can support a student’s educational plan when courses are not available to them at the home school, when a flexible alternative learning environment is required or when matching student preferred learning styles to programming needs.
All of our secondary schools are participating in our eLearning program.
Interested DDSB students in Grades 11 and 12 have an opportunity to enroll in two online courses per year (one per semester). If you are interested in enrolling in one of these courses, please speak to a member of your school’s Guidance Department.
Adult learners or students who have already graduated from secondary school should contact Durham Continuing Education.
