DCE's Getting Ready for High School Program

Posted On Tuesday July 22, 2025

The Getting Ready for High School (GR4HS) program is open to students entering grade 9 at DDSB secondary schools in September. It provides a brief introduction to the Grade 9 English and mathematics curriculum, as well as study skills, time management and provides steps to success. The program also allows students to become familiar with their new school and prepares them for the transition from elementary school to secondary school.

Please note that due to current DDSB IT policies, students must be in Canada to access course materials and classes. Students attempting to login from another country will not have access to their courses, and will be unable to participate in eLearning programming.
