Most CFL Summer School courses are delivered in one of these three ways. In some instances, students may have the ability to choose the course delivery method that best suits their learning style. Please refer to the legend on each Summer School course page to see the available course delivery methods.

In-Person (Synchronous or Asynchronous) 

All students are welcome to work in person at either Summer School site. In most core courses, students work in either Virtual Learning or print modular and are working at their own pace. Students are not required to work in person; however, if students choose to do so they have easy access to their teachers for support. 

Some courses are only delivered in person where attendance is mandatory. This is most applicable to Physical Education, CTS courses, and Math 15-5. Visit the Courses section for more details about specific courses.

Virtual Learning (Asynchronous)

Students can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule using CFL's online platform. 

Students who choose the Virtual Learning course delivery format will still be able to access a designated in-person work site should they need teacher support and/or a quiet place to work.

Print Modular (Asynchronous)

Students who prefer to work on their own may opt to complete course modules in print format. Course materials can be picked up at the start of Summer School and returned upon completion.

Students who choose the Print Modular course delivery format will still be able to access a designated in-person work site should they need teacher support and/or a quiet place to work.

• Full attendance is required for synchronous classroom courses and no provisions will be made for late starts or early releases.

• Some courses require final exams. Diploma exams are scheduled for the dates listed in the Important Dates for 2024 section above. Students writing non-Diploma exams will coordinate an exam time with their teacher.

• CFL reserves the right to cancel any class for which the minimum enrolment is NOT reached.
