A whole year of math, taught by people who finished it years ago.
Every instructor at HigherGrade is a top Grade 11 or 12 student who has already crushed MCR3U and MHF4U, and is deep into MCV4U / MDM4U. We're three to four years past the curriculum we're teaching — and we got 90s+ on the way through. We're not reading a textbook to you. We've lived it.
That matters because Grade 9 math isn't hard to look up — it's hard to teach well. Our teachers remember the exact spot where slope-intercept stops clicking, where the Pythagorean theorem feels like memorization, where a worksheet question is technically right but doesn't actually build the intuition you need for Grade 10. They remember because they were there yesterday.
The camp runs August 4–15, 2026 and covers the entire MTH1W curriculum in 10 intensive days. Each day has a tightly scoped schedule built around a specific unit; we hold the final exam on Friday of the second week, and the final Saturday is reserved for celebration — flex periods, games, and informal closing, no new material.
The camp is open to every incoming Grade 9 student. We teach to the HDSB MTH1W curriculum and welcome students from any school board — strong fundamentals help, but motivation and a willingness to work are what really matter.
Can't make it in person? Join us online — every day. We now run the camp online in parallel with our in-person sessions, so a student who lives too far, is away for the summer, or simply prefers learning from home can take part live, every single day, and get the exact same curriculum, teachers, and support.
And we don't disappear when camp ends. The ten days are just the beginning — our staff team stays in touch with every camper all the way through high school over our Discord servers, and we're there to help with any course throughout their entire first year of high school, not just math. The relationships and momentum built at camp carry straight into Grade 9 and beyond.
