Are you a grade 8 student in Georgina interested to up your game when applying to university?

If the answer is yes, then you are invited to attend an open house for the town’s first Advanced Placement Program on Dec. 6 at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic College School in Keswick.

The program is scheduled to start in September 2019 and will allow students to take specific courses in Grades 9 and 10 to prepare them for the Grade 11 and 12 AP courses, which include content taught in first-year university.

This will pave the way for students to earn university credits upon the successful completion of a standardized AP exam.

Current Grade 6 and Grade 8 students, who are considering attending the Catholic College School’s regular programs, are also invited to attend the upcoming open house. Application packages will be available to interested families and guests will have the opportunity to tour the school and ask questions.

The internationally-recognized AP Program at Our Lady of the Lake CCS will be phased in over four years, making it available for Grade 9 students in the 2019-2020 school year, for Grade 9 and 10 students in the 2020-2021 school year, and so on.

Our Lady of the Lake will be the seventh AP program in the York Catholic District School Board.

What: Our Lady of the Lake CCS open house and AP information night

When: Thursday, Dec. 6 at 7 p.m.

Where:  Our Lady of the Lake CCS, 186 Glenwoods Ave., Keswick
