Course Types
Grade 11 and 12 Course Types
Alternative (non-credit) courses are individualized courses, documented in a student’s Individual Education Plan, that include expectations not outlined in the Ontario Curriculum. These courses are designed to prepare students for daily living, including employment (supported or independent) or community living. Course codes for alternative (non-credit) courses begin with “K”. College preparation courses provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to meet the entrance requirements for most college programs and possible apprenticeships. Courses focus on practical applications and also examine underlying theories. University/College preparation courses are offered to prepare students to meet the entrance requirements of certain university and college programs. They focus on both theory and practical applications. An open level course comprises a set of expectations that is suitable for all students and is not linked to any specific post- secondary destination. These courses are designed to provide students with a broad educational base that will prepare them for their future studies. University preparation courses provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet university entrance requirements. Courses emphasize theoretical aspects of the subject and also consider related applications. Workplace preparation courses prepare students to move directly into the workplace after secondary school or to be admitted into select apprenticeship or other training programs in the community. Courses focus on employment skills and on practical workplace applications of the subject content. Many workplace preparation courses involve cooperative education and work experience placements, which allow students to get practical experience in a workplace.
