Successful completion of Summer Learning Full-Credit courses depends on the commitment of the student. West Vancouver School District recommends that students must:

  • be motivated to complete a course during the Summer months;
  • be committed to attending all classes.

A midterm report will be sent home with the students in the second week of classes and a final report card will be sent to the students’ home school where it can be picked up when school reopens in September. Students who wish to receive a copy in the mail prior to September may being a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the Summer Learning Office.
