Learning Strategies is an option for students experiencing difficulties with other academic courses. They meet 5 times in an 8 day timetable rotation. They begin in September and end in June. All grade 8 students take a five part elective course which introduces them to Art, Drama, Music, Computers and Study Skills. Each component consists of eight weeks of instruction.
Students choose three electives.
Students must choose one Fine Art and one Applied Skill course. If a student is taking Business Education instead of a Second Language, they may opt for two Fine Art courses. When student enrollment permits, honours courses are offered in grades 8-10 in English, Math and French. When there are insufficient numbers, honours students are placed in classrooms running regular programs. However, these students are taken from the classroom for at least one hour per week for more in depth and challenging instruction.
