Reach Ahead Program

If you are a Grade 8 student registered to attend a high school in the Durham Catholic District School Board in September, a Grade 9 credit is available this summer as part of our Reach Ahead Program.  

Students are eligible to take one Reach Ahead course only.

All courses run Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 2:37 p.m.

Course Information for All Reach Ahead Courses

  • Due to the compressed timeframe in a summer high school credit course, students can only register for the equivalent of one Reach Ahead course in the summer, and can not combine a high school credit course with any other course or program. Students are not permitted to register for both sessions.
  • Students are expected to attend all 18 days of the course.
  • Students are expected to adhere to the standard rules of Academic Integrity and follow the Code of Conduct.

Course Information for eLearning (online) Courses

  • Students in an online course will be expected to adhere to the standard rules of Academic Integrity and follow the Code of Conduct as expected of students in the face-to-face classroom setting.
  • Students taking an online course will be expected to log-in on a daily basis and meet all deadlines. Students should be able to commit to daily online work for an online learning credit.
  • Flexibility of an online course allows students to access their course material from anywhere in Canada that has internet access and any time during the day or night; however, students may be offered the opportunity to participate in a discussion synchronously, to support their learning. VPN is not supported for those out of country.
  • Once students are registered and enrolled into the on-line environment, they will be able to access their courses at https://durhamrc.elearningontario.ca/

*The Username and Password for the online course will be emailed to all students by June 30th at 4:00 pm. 

Please ensure you provide an up-to-date email address and check your junk mail for communication from Continuing Education.

Students will be contacted by their teacher for start-up details.
