High School Module-Based Courses - CLOSED

Online registration for Black Gold Summer School 2025 will open at

9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 26.

Welcome to Black Gold Module-Based Summer School!

We are pleased to offer a number of Module-Based summer courses to students who are looking for an alternative to classroom-based instruction. Module-based courses can be started as early as May 21 and offer a flexible approach to learning. Much of your schoolwork can be done independently using self-directed learning materials, while working offsite. Module-Based students will be expected to attend Ohpaho Secondary School in Leduc for course intakes, module pick-up and drop-off, one-on-one tutorial support, and to write assessments. Only one core course may be completed in summer school between both the Module-Based program and the Classroom-Based program.

We will provide:

• Flexible scheduling with the opportunity to begin summer school coursework starting the last week of May
• Self-paced digital and/or print modules
• Scheduled in-person course orientations and pickup of textbooks and print materials 
• Print or downloadable assignments that can be submitted in-person or via computer, scan, email or photo
• 80 hours of tutorial support – by booking one-on-one appointments or by utilizing Google Meet or ZOOM
• Regular phone, text, and email communication
• Mandatory onsite test and exam writing sessions

Should I Register In a Module-Based Course?

Successfully completing a Module-Based course presents many challenges for students. It is important to consider the following questions when deciding if Module-Based learning is for you.

Am I a motivated, independent and self-directed learner?
While regular tutorial assistance will be available for Module-Based Summer School students, much of the learning must be done independently.

Do I have the pre-requisite skills and knowledge?
Because of the unique challenges and demands of module-based learning, it is recommended that students have an average of 70% in any prerequisite courses before attempting a Summer School course at the next level.

Do I have the necessary time?
In a traditional classroom setting students put in 125 hours of in-class learning for each 5-credit course. As Summer School programs have a shortened delivery timeline, students must be prepared to put in many hours of study EVERY DAY if they are to be successful. It is essential that prospective students do NOT book holidays or work full-time in July while they are completing Summer School courses.

Do I have the necessary resources?
Summer School students will need reliable internet access and a computer or Chromebook to complete most Module-Based courses.
