Summer Credit Courses

Taking a summer school course offers students a range of benefits that can significantly impact their academic and personal development. Whether it is a reach-ahead course or an opportunity to raise a mark from the previous academic year, summer credit courses allow students to pursue academics while still enjoying their summer break. Classes are small, and courses are designed to maximize interaction and enjoyment.

The cost of each course is $1,600 and includes lunch. Refunds are not available for withdrawals after May 1, 2026.

FUNCTIONS– MCR3U

Course Dates: June 26 - July 17

Time: 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Format: In class
Prerequisite: Mathematics, Grade 10, Academic (MPM2D)

This course is intended for students who have completed Grade 10 Mathematics, particularly those who plan to take the IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches course. Note: Students taking IB Mathematics A&A will need to EITHER complete Functions in Summer 2026 or Advanced Functions in Summer 2027. This is not necessary for IB Mathematics A&I.

This course introduces the mathematical concept of the function by extending students’ experiences with linear and quadratic relations. Students will investigate properties of discrete and continuous functions, including trigonometric and exponential functions; represent functions numerically, algebraically, and graphically; solve problems involving applications of functions; investigate inverse functions; and develop facility in determining equivalent algebraic expressions. Students will reason mathematically and communicate their thinking as they solve multi-step problems.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS– MHF4U

Course Dates: June 26 - July 17
Time: 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Format: In class
Prerequisite: Functions, Grade 11, University Preparation, or Mathematics for College Technology, Grade 12, College Preparation

This course is intended for students who have completed MCR3U and either need it for future post-secondary studies or plan to take calculus and vectors.

This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.
