All courses are subject to change depending on enrollment. Please see the current fee guide for costs associated with CTF and elective courses.
ACADEMIES
The Academies are enhanced opportunities for unique instruction for students in Gr. 7- 9. The purpose of our Academies is to provide targeted, skilled instruction and experiences. They are double the time of our usual electives which creates more opportunity for more off-campus activities. You can choose one or many and only pay for the Academies you choose. Academies run every other afternoon for a quarter (approximately 10 weeks but may extend into a whole semester if there is enough interest.
Fees for Academies may vary depending on the number of participants, off campus activities and guest coaches. All unused funds will be refunded. Please view the current “Student Fees” on the school website under the “Resources” tab. Academies need at least 20 registered participant to run. Deposits will be refunded if the Academy does not go forward.
