Program Requirements - Grade 10, 11, 12

​​​PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS GRADE 10, 11 & 12

All students in Grades 8 - 10 must take a full course load (min of 8 Courses). Grade 11’s and 12’s are strongly encouraged to take a full course load. Research indicates that students fully engaged in courses and school activities are more successful in the classroom. Many post-secondary institutions have declared they do take into consideration the breadth of courses applicants have taken in their Grade 11 and 12 years, as well as courses specific to their intended area of study.
