A note on subject offerings - Physics: If a student needs physics and wishes to be in IB there are a few options for picking up physics, which is not an IB offering at our school.
1) Take provincial Physics 521 in grade ten
2) Holland College offers Physics 521 and 621 for free (and gives the resources needed, too). These courses are offered in two different sessions in the evenings. See the IB coordinator for details.
3) Physics may be offered at summer school. Check with the office.
4) There are three different correspondence course options for acquiring your physics credits. See the IB Coordinator for details.
Note: Most Canadian universities will only require a Physics 621 credit for engineering or architecture. Check with the Registrar's office at your university of interest.
