This program is designed to build the following character traits:

Interpersonal skills: Developed through small-group projects, guided discussions, and city-based learning experiences. Students practice communication, active listening, and collaboration while engaging with peers and community spaces across Toronto, building confidence in real-world interaction.
Curiosity: Fostered through experiential learning across Toronto, where students explore civics and careers in real contexts. Visits to civic institutions, universities, and local organizations spark questions, deepen engagement, and connect learning to personal interests and future pathways.

We are an academic summer school program located in downtown Toronto, offering a focused, credit-based experience with an emphasis on immersive, real-world learning. Established as part of Keystone School’s innovative academic programming, our summer program is designed to help students complete required Ontario Secondary School Diploma credits by combining structured instruction with project-based learning, discussion, and guided exploration that connects course concepts to everyday life.

Students can earn a Civics and Citizenship (CHV2O) credit over a two-week period from July 6 to July 17. Our program is designed for students entering Grade 9 and above, including both Keystone students and those from other Ontario schools. With our downtown Toronto location as an extension of the classroom, students participate in excursions to places like Toronto City Hall, the University of Toronto, local businesses, and community organizations, examining how civics, leadership, and community operate in the world around them.
