ExploreU

It's your journey.  It starts now.

ExploreU is a summer pre-university experience available to students currently in grades 11 and 12. It provides the opportunity for students to take a first year university course, grow accustomed to campus life, and build the skills necessary to excel throughout their university careers.  You'll gain an understanding of the challenges and opportunities that await you in college or university, and how to make the absolute best of the experience.
