Programming Options
To accommodate individual student needs, several program options are available. English Language Arts,
History, Science and Math are core compulsory subjects that are offered in each of the following three
programs.
Regular (Courses are numbered 10/20/30)
● Regular courses required for entrance to all university programs and many institute programs.
Modified (Courses are numbered 11/21/31)
● Modified courses are intended for students who experience considerable difficulty with the content or
program rate in the regular program.
● It is important to understand that modified courses do not meet current admission requirements for
post- secondary institutions.
● Students require a formal and informal assessment and consult with parents/guardians, teachers and
educational persons before being placed in modified programs.
Alternative (Courses are numbered 18/28/38)
● Alternative courses are intended for students who require life skills programming to prepare them for
independent living and the world of work. (Educational Psychologist testing for placement is a
requirement)
The following requires special permission from administration.
● School policy prohibits students from taking more than one English course per semester unless it is their
final semester, in which case English Language Arts A30 and B30 may be completed for graduation
status.
● School policy prohibits students from taking more than five classes per semester without approval from
the principal (with the exception of the music program or apprenticeship as these credits are earned
outside regular class times).
● Students require special permission from administration to take grade level higher classes.
Course Availability
Although a specific course may be offered at course selection time, this is not a guarantee that it will be
scheduled. A sufficient number of requests must be received before a course will be scheduled. Students
will be notified if a course becomes unavailable in which case there will be an opportunity for the student
to select another course.
