Learn more about Keystone’s dynamic and enriching summer courses, taking place on our campus in the heart of the Annex!

This year, we will be offering two courses to students looking to get ahead and earn credits during the quiet study months. Each course will run for 4 weeks and, upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a credit toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

Course Offerings

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.

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.

This course develops students’ understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will explore kinematics, with an emphasis on linear motion; different kinds of forces; energy transformations; the properties of mechanical waves and sound; and electricity and magnetism. They will enhance their scientific investigation skills as they test laws of physics. In addition, they will analyse the interrelationships between physics and technology, and consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions about Keystone’s Summer Credits

Yes, students will receive a credit toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma for every summer course they complete, as long as they achieve the minimum passing grade (50%).

Our summer courses typically range from 4-10 students per class. This allows students to obtain individualized assistance and easily ask teachers questions as needed.

Each course has its own prerequisite, as indicated by the Ministry of Education. Our Academics Team will assess that each student meets the requirements before enrolling them in the summer course.
