Guelph’s public school board says its summer school programs will be offered virtually through a distance learning model due to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

On Monday, the Upper Grand District School Board revealed a range of programs available to students during the summer.

Courses are being offered to students in Grades 6-8 and Grades 9-12.

One program allows graduating Grade 8 students to earn a credit prior to entering high school in September. Students can choose between Learning Strategies, and Careers and Civics.

Secondary school students can also upgrade a credit in an effort to improve their final grade or recover their credit after receiving a failing grade.
