Academic
Diploma
(See also: Advanced Placement, Certificate
Programs)
The
Academic program provides a sound education at the secondary level. It is
organized to maintain a balance between the core subjects of English,
Mathematics, Social Studies, Science and Physical Education. Students select
additional optional courses to meet their specific needs. This program provides
a basis for further education at the University or College level. Students may
wish to consider the Dual Diploma Program that combines the Academic Program and
the Vocational Technology Program.
Dual Diploma
Dual Diploma students combine requirements for a
vocational diploma with those of an academic diploma. Students must take a grade
11 Science and grade 12 Transactional Focus, Literary Focus or Comprehensive
Focus.
Acquisition of a Dual Diploma does not ensure students of entry into
all university faculties and programs or qualify them for entrance scholarship
requirements. Students need to ensure they have taken necessary prerequisites
for admission to university programs to qualify for entrance
scholarship.
Certificate
Programs
- Biomedical Internship Certificate
- Creative Arts Certificate
- Information Technology
See page 10 of the Information Handbook for more
information.
Advanced Placement
A number of enriched or advanced courses are offered at the Grade 12
level. Enriched AP preparatory courses are offered in certain subjects. Students
who excel in regular classes are encouraged to speak to their subject teachers
about registering for AP in the next grade. AP prep. courses, while not
pre-requisites, are recommended for students interested in pursuing advanced
placement standing. These courses together are known as the Advanced Placement
Program (AP). There are a number of benefits and considerations associated with
the AP Program. Please see our Information Handbook for full
details
