Consider reaching ahead; for example, if you plan to take senior university-level science courses and you would like co-op or the Outdoor Education Leadership Program in grade 11, you may want to take a grade 11 University Biology credit in semester 2 of your grade 10 year to lighten your workload in grade 11. Please choose your levels carefully.

Decent marks in grade 9 academic courses will help you to be more successful in grade 10 academic courses. Grade 10 applied courses will lead to grade 11 college and mixed level courses. Grade 10 academic courses will lead to grade 11 university, college, or mixed level courses.

Summer school - the only grade 10 course offered is Careers and Civics, which can be taken via e-learning. To help you pick your levels and courses, you may want to do some research. Post-secondary research includes talking to teachers at the course fair - brochures will be given on Tuesday morning - you will have time to attend 5 sessions.
