What is SHAD?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SHAD is a Canadian summer enrichment program. \u00a0It empowers exceptional high school students \u2013 at a pivotal point in their education \u2013 to recognize their own capabilities and envision their extraordinary potential as tomorrow\u2019s leaders and change makers. Each year, SHAD provides the opportunity for 900 top-performing grade 10-12 students from across Canada and internationally to attend a month-long summer program, in-residence at one of our Canadian host universities<\/a>, focused on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math).<\/p>\n

SHAD provides the unique opportunity to explore a university campus while still in high school, and experience higher learning in a supportive yet challenging environment. Included are lectures, seminars and workshops, presentations by industry leaders, working in teams to simulate a \u2018startup\u2019 project, and recreational activities.\u00a0Meanwhile, parents can rest assured that SHAD works intensively with our university campus partners to ensure student safety, well-being, and access to needed services.<\/p>\n

While it is a competitive application process, SHAD recognizes that leadership and intellectual curiosity can be shown in many ways including by overcoming obstacles. SHAD is not just for the most vocal student leaders or those with the highest average; SHAD is looking for change makers \u2013 youth who want to embrace their Uncommon Purpose and bring about real, positive change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Students selected through the rigorous, competitive process for places in the summer program are top performers who are also well-rounded emerging leaders demonstrating initiative, creativity and flair.
