This year, as part of our summer school programming for the 2024-2025 school year, and in partnership with EF Educational Tours, we will be offering a Travel for Credit course (ENG4U) to Grade 11 students across the board. Through this program, students in the Greater Essex County District School Board will have the unique opportunity to earn a Grade 12 English credit by combining traditional and experiential learning. Students will begin their summer school studies either in-person or online and then continue their coursework while traveling, under the supervision of a summer school teacher hired by the board.

How it works
Students earn one credit through in-person or virtual classroom learning and a week of exciting, experiential travel. As your school board's trusted partner in travel, EF safely guides students to must-see Canadian and international destinations to expand their course knowledge.
