• By the end of Grade 12, Ontario Colleges will
require you to have successfully completed ENG4C
in addition to a mix of C, M, & U type courses, not
just Open courses.
• At some colleges, if your ENG4C isn’t scheduled in
semester one, they will look at your overall mark
for Grade 11 ENG3C.
• Students with an IEP must provide documentation
to their institution.
• By the end of Grade 12, you must successfully
complete 6 grade 12 courses with a ‘4M’ or a ‘4U’
code.

Introducing…
Mr. Paul Giralico
Official Advanced Placement Course Title:
AP CALCULUS AB
It is run as two courses at ECSS:
Grade 12 MHF4UE Advanced Functions
Grade 12 MCV4UE Calculus and Vectors
These two courses must be taken consecutively in the same
school year.
AP Preparation:
Grade 11 MCR3U2 Functions (Pre-AP)
A very high standing in the previous University /
Academic level course.
Consultation with a math teacher during the
course selection process.
Students are challenged by the in-depth study of subject matter at the university level in a team-oriented environment with similarly motivated peers.
They have the opportunity to experience the demands of
university curriculum and, for those who qualify, to receive advanced standing or equivalent credits at participating universities in Canada and around the world.
AP courses give students a head start at university as a familiarity with the university-level material will ease the transition to post-secondary education. *
Better equips students to manage the rigours of a highly
demanding first year undergraduate program.*
Should my child expect to receive a lower mark in an AP course because the material is more challenging?
No. They are still evaluated based on the standards of the Ontario Curriculum. AP students will write the same school examination papers as their peers.
What exactly makes the AP courses different?
The pacing of the AP courses is significantly quicker as more material is covered in the same amount of time
The Advanced Functions course content is completed by November in order to accommodate the extra Calculus material covered in the AP Curriculum
Can my child take the Grade 11 AP-prep course and
then decide not to take the Grade 12 course?
Yes. This is actually quite a common occurrence.
What marks do the universities review? Do they know that my child has taken an AP course?
The universities will only see the mark that appears on the Ontario Secondary report card for the corresponding course. If your child successfully meets the requirements to receive advanced standing or equivalent credits at a university, it is up to you to decide whether or not to submit this information. You may wish to indicate that you have taken the Grade 12 courses at the AP level on a supplementary application piece if applicable.
Is there a separate AP exam?
Yes. This exam takes place in early May and is
set and evaluated by members of the American
College Board. This mark does not in any way
effect your Ontario Curriculum course mark. AP
exam results are usually mailed in early July.
