REACH AHEAD CREDITS FOR GRADE 8 STUDENTS

Grade 8 students are welcomed to “reach ahead” and achieve a maximum of 3 credits before the start of their secondary school career.

This is a great opportunity for students to reduce their academic workload in their first year of high school or get a compulsory course out of the way to allow them the opportunity to take an additional elective.

If your child is currently in grade 8, please reach out to us to discuss reach-ahead opportunities.

STANDARDIZED TEST/ENTRY EXAM PREP

Certain post-secondary programs require students to complete standardized testing. City Academy’s tutors are available to support students in preparing for the required testing, so they can be set up for success.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM® (AP)

City Academy is proud to announce the addition of Advanced Placement APsup>® courses to our program offerings.

AP® is a program developed by College Board® that offers students the opportunity to take university-level courses while still in high school. AP® courses allow students to challenge themselves and deepen and enrich their learning in a specific area of instruction. Depending on their interests and strengths, students may enrol in one or more AP® courses.

Upon successful completion of the AP® course, students will achieve the Ontario credit and will also be prepared to write the standardized AP® examination. The AP® exams are offered every May. Students who perform well on the AP® exam may be granted placement and/or course credit at Canadian and American universities. Each university has its own policy regarding AP® courses. For information on the AP policies of Canadian universities please consult the following website: http://international.collegeboard.org/programs/ap-recognition/canada.

At present, the following AP® courses are available at City Academy:

AP Biology • AP Calculus AB • AP English Literature

Additional courses are being added.

We’re here to help students excel, including helping prepare them for a big test. With our Pre-Test/Exam Reviews Sessions, City Academy is able to offer students a 5 hour session to assist in ensuring that the student is prepared for an upcoming major test or final exam.

These sessions can be scheduled with relatively short notice and can be completed independently or with a group of students attending the same school and class.

Within the context of the content tutorial teachers will offer instruction in exam writing and study skills.

SUBJECT “TUNE-UPS” (REMEDIAL ASSISTANCE)

We receive many requests from parents wishing their son/daughter to complete a “tune-up” of a specific subject in order to ensure they are prepared for the next school year and/or semester. We are here to help.

This service can be offered to students on an individual basis in all subject areas. A subject “tune-up” requires approximately 15 hours at a cost of $1,100; however this estimation may vary depending on the ability of the student.

We recommend that you phone the school to personally discuss your needs so that a program can be formulated to meet your individual needs.

Virtual Learning

The virtual classroom experience motivates students to participate in our program and therefore commit to their own success. As well, our small size guarantees that regardless of whether students are physically in-class or virtual, all students receive the same excellent teaching and support from our fantastic teachers.

  • students interact daily with their teacher and peers allowing for collaboration, teamwork and skill building in real-time
  • students participate in online technological experiences, labs and experiments to facilitate and enhance learning
  • students have a clear understanding of course expectations and what is required to achieve success
  • students work closely with the teacher in support of their learning and academic goals
  • students and parents have ongoing communication with the teacher
  • students and parents receive regular and ongoing feedback on course progress
