Red Deer Public School District offers summer credit courses to accommodate students who wish to continue their education during the summer period. Students contemplating registration for summer classes should be aware that the courses are very concentrated. Good study habits and regular attendance are essential to ensure success. In view of the reduced instructional time, the most practical use of the summer program is to raise a final mark in a subject previously completed. There will be two levels of study:

Teacher Instruction - requires 15 or more students in one subject

Distance Learning Materials - under 15 students

Students must attend class everyday. You will receive an outline of what materials/assignments are to be covered each day. A teacher will be present during class time to answer questions and mark assignments.

        Fall Credit Classes (September - January)

        Winter Credit Classes (February - June)

$20 plus books: Students who are 19 years of age or younger as of September 1, 2010

Students 19 years of age or younger as of September 1, 2010 taking an online course pay for books upon registration.

$600 plus books: Students 20 years of age or older as of September 1, 2010

$880 plus books: International Student

The recommended allowable course load is one 5-credit course.

Due to the abbreviated nature of the summer program, homework assignment and assigned readings form a major component of all those courses. Students must be prepared to spend three to four hours per day on studies in addition to class time.

Textbooks may be purchased by Summer School students at the Community Programs office. Payment can be made by MasterCard, Visa, cash, cheque, interact or money order payable to Red Deer Public Schools.

At the end of the course, students may sell their books back to Community Programs.
