SUMMER TRANSITION PROGRAM

The Benefits of Participating in the Grade 9 Summer Transition Program 

The grade 9 transition program is an opportunity to enrich your child's high school journey at St. Mother Teresa Catholic Academy. 

There are many benefits to joining the summer transition program:

• earn a high school credit (HIF1O1) even before they officially begin high school in September

• build skills and knowledge in developing positive communication styles, initiating and maintaining healthy and meaningful relationships, and being a responsible and contributing member in one’s own family and within the greater community

• enhance literacy and numeracy skills so that they are better prepared to meet grade 9 curriculum expectations

• increase self-confidence and interpersonal skills by meeting and working alongside their new peers, being taught by SMT teachers, and interacting with student leaders who were also recent newcomers to high school

• an opportunity to learn from motivational and informative guest speakers

Field trips and student leader facilitated activities are also part of the experience. 

This summer school program is held during the month of July. There is a cost of $30.00 which captures some aspects of the program such as trips, guest speakers and school events.

A registration link will be available at an upcoming date.

The $30 fee can be paid in cash on site on the first day of summer school, July 2nd.

We look forward to seeing our future grade 9 students in July as they begin their new adventure as SMT Titans.
