Students who wish access to a desired program at a school other than their home high school may do so in grade ten. All students attend their home high schools in grade nine. When considering a focus program at another school, students are encouraged to select grade nine courses that closely match the desired focus program. (Exceptions to grade nine attendance at home school are made for regional programs, which include French Immersion, Gifted and other Special Education classes.) Please check with individual schools for course availability.
