TFS Summer School Academy

Ontario Credit Courses: Biology, Physics, Calculus and Vectors and Business Leadership

ONLINE AND IN PERSON OPTIONS

TFS will be offering Grade 11 Biology and Physics, as well as Grade 12 Biology, Physics, Calculus and Vectors and Business Leadership credit courses this summer.

The language delivery for each course will be English and the courses will be taught and assessed according to ministry guidelines. These courses are not IB courses and will be assessed according to the Ontario Ministry expectations. The science courses are planned for in-person, at-school learning, however, an online option will also be offered with a hybrid option for labs. The Grade 12 calculus and business leadership courses will be offered entirely online.

Session dates for all Ontario Credit Courses:

Monday, June 30 - Friday, July 25, 2025

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 (Canada Day) no classes

Times: 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (with one hour for lunch)

Please note that detailed information regarding the course content, learning resources, behavioural expectations for in-person and online learning, attendance, assessments, staffing etc., will be shared in the spring when the courses are finalized.

List of 6 items.

Grade 11 Biology (SBI3U)

Prerequisite:
Grade 10 Science (SNC2D)
Read More
This course furthers students’ understanding of the processes involved in biological systems. Students will study cellular functions, genetic continuity, internal systems and regulation, the diversity of living things, and the anatomy, growth and functions of plants. The course focuses on the theoretical aspects of the topics under study, and helps students refine skills related to scientific investigation.
Grade 11 Physics (SPH3U)

Prerequisite:
Grade 10 Science (SNC2D)
Read More
This course develops students’ understanding of the basic concepts of physics. Students will explore kinematics, with an emphasis on linear motion; different kinds of forces; energy transformations; the properties of mechanical waves and sound; and electricity and magnetism. They will enhance their scientific investigation skills as they test laws of physics. In addition, they will analyze the interrelationships between physics and technology, and consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.
Grade 12 Biology (SBI4U)

Prerequisite:
Grade 11 Biology (SBI3U)
Read More
This course provides students with the opportunity for in-depth study of the concepts and processes that occur in biological systems. Students will study theory and conduct investigations in the areas of biochemistry, metabolic processes, molecular genetics, homeostasis and population dynamics. Emphasis will be placed on the acquisition of detailed knowledge and the refinement of skills needed for further study in various branches of the life sciences and related fields.
Grade 12 Physics (SPH4U)

Prerequisite:
Grade 11 Physics (SPH3U)
Read More
This course enables students to deepen their understanding of physics concepts and theories. Students will continue their exploration of energy transformations and the forces that affect motion, and will investigate electrical, gravitational and magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation. Students will also explore the wave nature of light, quantum mechanics and relativity. They will further develop their scientific investigation skills, learning, for example, how to analyze, qualitatively and quantitatively, data related to a variety of physics concepts and principles. Students will also consider the impact of technological applications of physics on society and the environment.
Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U)

Prerequisite:
Grade 12 Advanced Functions (MHF4U)
Read More
This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three dimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modeling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra or physics course.
Grade 12 Management Fundamentals (BOH4M)

Prerequisite:
None, open to students who have completed Grade 11
Read More
This course focuses on the development of leadership skills used in managing a successful business. Students will analyse the role of a leader in business, with a focus on decision making, management of group dynamics, workplace stress and conflict, motivation of employees and planning. Effective business communication skills, ethics and social responsibility are also emphasized.
