BYSSI Math Enrichment Summer Program 2022
The Black Youth School Initiative (BYSSI) brings together Black-led agencies, community organizations, and schools in both the Dufferin-Peel Catholic District School Board and the Peel District School Board to support Black students. Our goal is to support approximately 500 Black children and youth in grades 6-8 and for all four years of high school over a five-year period to achieve graduation rates on par with the regional average.
We are excited to announce that we will be piloting a math enrichment program this summer.
Eligibility:
Students in Grade 8 and will be attending high school next school year
Students in Grade 9 that could benefit from review of Grade 8 fundamental math concepts/ the Grade 9 course material
Identifies as Black, African, and/or Caribbean`
Priority will be given to BYSSI students.
Since this is a pilot program we will be working with a small group of 10-15 youth. We hope that their feedback will allow for us to make the necessary improvements that will allow for us to facilitate a larger cohort.
