Do I have to do summer school if I want to upgrade from Grade 9 applied math to grade 10 academic math in Canada?

I am In Grade 9 Applied math and I want to go to university so I heard that you need Acadamic math credits for 10, 11 and 12 so would I have to go to summer school upgrade? Also, could you name some jobs that are not math related?

You can't upgrade from one grade level to the next in summer school from Grade 9, but you can get Academic credit if all you have is applied right now. In grade 9 and 10 you can take summer school classes to either better your grades in a class or transition from applied to academic of the same grade level. If you passed the grade 9 Academic summer school course, you'd be able to take grade 10 Academic maths in September after that summer.

After grade 10, you would be able to take one grade 11 course if you passed the grade 10 prerequisite. I did grade 11 math the summer between grade 10 and 11 and didn't have to take math again until grade 12.

That's how it worked in Ontario anyway, dunno about where you are.

Nah, you should be able to take Grade 9 Academic transition in summer school. But yeah it is also possible to do it the way you described. And you could feasibly take grade 11 and 12 math in the same year, in different semesters (11 in first, 12 in second)

The thing is, there's tonnes of room in high school for adjustments like this. Some kids don't do it and they wind up with spare periods.

And trust me, don't worry too much about getting into university right now, the system's a mess. My sister's almost done her BA and she's not happy with how it happened.
