Secondary School CoursesCourse TypesThe school offers ACADEMIC, APPLIED, or OPEN course types. Academic and applied courses differ in the balance between essential concepts and additional material, and in the balance between theory and application. Open courses, offered in all secondary school grades, are designed to prepare students for further study in certain subjects and to enrich their education generally. Like the other types of courses, open courses are credit-based and are counted towards the 30 credits required to meet diploma requirements. All course outlines are available for viewing. Please contact the school. ACADEMIC COURSES - These courses will focus on essential concepts and include additional requirements, and greater emphasis will be placed on theory than on practical applications. APPLIED COURSES - These courses will focus on essential concepts, but greater emphasis will be placed on practical applications than on theory. Students planning to switch from one course type in Grade 9 to the other in Grade 10 in the same subject will be strongly encouraged to successfully complete additional course work of up to 30 hours. OPEN COURSES - These courses are designed to give students additional preparation for Grades 11 and 12 and to enrich their education generally. They are appropriate for all students. EACH course is scheduled for 110 hours of instruction and is worth one credit toward the 30 credits required for a diploma. ALL courses in this calendar are offered subject to having sufficient enrolment. Understanding Course CodesCourse Codes consist of five or six digits. The first three digits are letters that indicate the course. For example - CHC2D C - Canadian and World Studies HC - Canadian History The fourth digit indicates the grade: 2 - Grade 10 The fifth digit indicates the course type: D - Academic Other Codes for the fifth digit: P – Applied, O – Open, U – University preparation, M – University/College preparation, C – College preparation, E-Workplace Graduation RequirementsPrior Learning Assessment and Recognition (P.L.A.R.)Students now have the opportunity to "challenge" the curriculum rather than take a course where their prior learning or experience indicates this would best serve their educational needs. A maximum of four credits may be challenged through this process. PLAR also involves the awarding of equivalency credits for out-of-province students. Please contact the principal for more information. Course SelectionThe decision as to which type of course is most appropriate is an important one. For Grade 8 students, recommendations will be made by the elementary school teacher as part of each student's educational plan. Successful completion of a course in Grade 9 prepares the student to proceed to Grade 10 but students wishing to switch course types will be strongly encouraged to complete extra course work. Students registering for Grade 10 should consult with the principal to clarify the requirements of the goals set by the student. Substitutions for Compulsory CoursesIn order to allow flexibility in designing a student’s program and to ensure that all students can qualify for the secondary school diploma, substitutions may be made for a limited number of compulsory credit courses using courses from the remaining courses offered by the school that meet the requirements for compulsory credits. To meet individual students’ needs, principals may replace up to three of these courses (or the equivalent in half courses) with courses from the remainder of those that meet the compulsory credit requirements. In all cases, however, the sum of compulsory and optional credits will not be less than thirty for students aiming to earn the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and not less than fourteen for those aiming to earn the Ontario Secondary School Certificate. All students should study the general information and the diploma requirements carefully. It is expected that all students will work directly toward a diploma.
