Shad is known as a month of a lifetime!     

They provide grade 10 and 11 students the opportunity to live on a university campus, dive into hands-on STEAM and entrepreneurship learning, tackle a real-world problem, and make strides in their confidence, teamwork, and critical thinking skills. And this year they are operating in person!     

Each summer, 1000 students join Shad and leave with lifelong connections, increased confidence, new career paths, awakened passions and university-aged mentors.  All this in 27-days. 

Here is a look into what an in-person Shad program is like and what parents are saying about their child's Shad experience. 

* Successful ASD-W applicants are eligible for a $1000 bursary from our district to support the associated costs.​
