Grade 11

Computer Science 11

This course uses video game design to teach the basics of computer science and computer programming. Computational thinking and boolean logic will be used to solve problems and visual programming languages will be used to introduce some of the concepts of object-oriented programming, including loops, data types, arrays, search algorithms, and graphic user interfaces (GUI). 

Computer Science courses qualify as Mathematics courses for grades 11 and 12. 

Media Design 11

Students continue work with image manipulation, video manipulation, 3-D animation, and audio production software. As students progress with their skills they will have the opportunity to explore self directed projects. Students will also have the chance to display their skills in a variety of projects for the school community. This could include video projects, marketing materials, or even DJ’ing for school events.
