This guide will outline all of the graduation requirements and options for students in Grades 8 through 12 at GISS.
PLANNING THE COMING SCHOOL YEAR
Learn which courses are required by studying this guide, and also by verifying specific university and college entrance requirements.
Where a requirement involves a choice of courses (Foundations of Math 11 or Pre Calculus 11, Workplace Math 11 for example) read the course descriptions, seek your subject teacher's advice. Make realistic decisions.
When choosing any course, read the description carefully. Think about your personal skills and interests.
Use a Grad Planning tool based on the grade you are entering.
Timetable conflicts sometimes make it impossible to take all the courses you want. Plan alternative courses and write them on your course planning form.
Arrange in advance for tutoring in a class you expect to find difficult.
Note: We hire and assign staff according to your choices now – please choose wisely and don’t expect to be able to switch courses in September!
