Noon Hour Clubs & Activities

Coding

Secret Programming Club is brought to you by an AcadeCap Parent.
‍
‍Secret codes have evolved over time, from the first codes carved in stone 4000 years ago, to decode in your head to modern codes that computers process using math.
‍
Coding touches the fields of puzzles, math, computer programming and more. We can do any or all of these each day, and for those who want to go deeper into one of puzzles, math, or computer programming and leave the secret codes behind, we can try to do that too! The direction we go in the club is guided by the interests of those who sign up.

Learning Never Stops

Outings and Travel

Our outings and travel are educationally based and serve as an experiential extension to the curriculum, more specifically to a unit of study. They are academically oriented with well-planned preparation and follow-up. One of the key benefits of travel is that students develop life skills that they can use in years to come, particularly when they move on to post-secondary education.

à la carte OSSD courses

During the summer, students can take advantage of Académie de la Capitale’s expertise, approach and rigour to obtain the necessary credits towards the OSSD and most importantly to acquire the in-depth concepts, knowledge and skills to keep on learning and to succeed academically at the post-secondary level. Due to our small daytime class sizes, our educators are experienced at one-on-one teaching and differentiated learning. Every student is challenged at his, her or they level, strengthens core concepts, develops core competencies, and masters course content.
