SHAD Program

Hamilton District Christian High School student Justin Luth will be heading to university this summer with the SHAD program.

Justin is among 701 students from across the country who will be immersed in an intense one-month program focused on science, technology, engineering, arts, and math with the  SHAD program.

SHAD is a registered Canadian charity that empowers exceptional high school students – at a pivotal point in their education – to recognize their own capabilities and envision their extraordinary potential as tomorrow’s leaders and change makers. Each year, SHAD provides the opportunity for 600+ students from across Canada and internationally to attend a month-long summer program, in-residence at one of our Canadian host universities, focused on science, technology, engineering, and math.
