The grade 11 construction program typically consists of 15-16 weeks outside working and building various structures. Building structures will give the student a better understanding of how the parts of a house are put together, while finishing them will allow students to learn about various details performed, such as shingling a roof.

TCS 4C

The grade 12 construction program is a more "in depth" program for students wanting to pursue and succeed in one of the multiple trades as a career. Students will learn and practice the math involved while creating various rafters and joints, stair cases, surveying land and breaking down the actual construction of a complete house. The semester consist of about 1/3 of the time spent learning and practicing the trade's math required for students to succeed in the field and 2/3 of the time practicing and doing real life exercises with various construction products and tools.

Safety and Team work are both essential skills to learn for a successful career
