Summer Opportunities
Campus EPSB helps students earn high school credits and industry credentials, get ahead of their studies or prepare for post-secondary. It’s a great way to explore opportunities and get hands-on experience.
Students should speak with their families, teachers or school counsellors about their Campus EPSB options and decide what is right for them.
Learn more about Campus EPSB and how it works.
More information will be available in spring 2025.
