Course Programming

​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Welcome to the Course Programming Hub! 

Course Programming information is designed to provide students and families with information to plan for high school course selections and graduation pathways.  

As you consider course planning, we encourage you to:

  1. Consider ALL the courses and programs that are available to you
  2. Be curious about options not previously chosen
  3. Ensure you know what is required in order for you to achieve your future goals
  4. Make reasoned and responsible choices
  5. Discuss your plan and consider suggestions from parents, teachers and counsellor

Our timetable is developed based on student course requests.  This means that we staff the school and create course selections based on the information we receive from students in late February.  This process allows us to create a schedule that suits the needs of the vast majority of our students, but it does not allow for any significant changes once the timetable is set.   We are unable to guarantee that each course described will be offered.  Offering a course is dependent on enrolment and a student may need to take an alternate course to meet their program requirements. We are unable to guarantee any course changes after course requests are made in February. ​

If you have more questions, please reach out to your counsellor:
