HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS

A full academic program is being offered enabling students to meet all the requirements of high school graduation. By careful selection of courses (beginning in Grade 10) a student can obtain matriculation requirements for most Canadian colleges and universities.

We urge students and parents to realize that the diploma requirements represent only the bare MINIMUM credits. We advise to begin your high school career with a definite plan outlining the courses you will need for your continuing education. This may avoid an overload in your final year of school. Many programs in further education (such as the colleges and technical schools) require grade averages of 65% and higher. You owe it to yourselves to aim for the highest mark possible in any subject.

Before making your final subject choice, check with the counselor the entrance requirements of the particular college or university you would like to attend.

ELEMENTARY PROGRAM

A minimum of departmentalization takes place at the elementary level. However, there is a need for some due to special subjects such as French and Physical Education and also to relieve teachers for their preparation time. French is offered to all students in grade one to nine.

When students encounter learning difficulties and upon receipt of parental consent, members of the special needs department will be involved in offering assistance with identified needs of the individual.

All students must take Physical Education unless they have an updated doctor’s certificate exempting them from doing so. Students must have the proper attire for Physical Education. Homeroom teachers will advise students of what is needed.

School supplies are the responsibility of the parents and the homeroom teacher will advise students of what is needed. A list for the following year will be provided by the teacher at the end of June.

Homework for elementary students is kept to a minimum mainly for grades four to six and then primarily for students who are not able to finish assignments during class time.
