A Guide for Students and their Parents

High School

What is in the future for our students

Grade 10 courses are prerequisites for Grade 11 Courses.

What Subject Level will be best for maximum student achievement – Academic or Applied?

University requires an average of no less than 72% for non-competitive programs and 80% for competitive programs.

This means that in Grade 11 – 12 course marks under 70 are really failing Grades.

It is important to realize!

If a student is struggling in an academic course and the mark is below 70% - summer school make up courses can be used to re-enforce learning.

High School does not need to be

completed in 4 Years.

THERE ARE MANY CHOICES

Acceptance into any University or College Program is based on marks.

Students must have Academic Grade 10 prerequisites to take Grade 11 University or Mixed courses.

THERE ARE MANY CHOICES

If a student struggles at Academic it is important to determine what work habits are lacking and develop them.

If a student is not capable to change their habits then success becomes limited.

If the student limits themselves then it is important to limit their academic demands.
