Enriched English
Prerequisite: 80% or higher in English 11 and teacher’s recommendation.
Based on an enriched English 12 curriculum, this course is designed to challenge the most serious of English students: through the reading and analysis of a wide range of literature; and through the writing of high quality, senior level analytical essays which address the themes of the literature we will read. While English 11 Enriched is not a prerequisite, students considering this enriched course must recognize that there is an additional reading load which exceeds the usual demands of the regular English 12 curriculum. There is a Provincial English 12 exam, in June, worth 40% of the overall course mark. The Independent Reading Program may also be part of the evaluation.

Mathematics 8/9 Fast Track
Prerequisite: Teacher recommendation and/or entrance exam
This course is designed for highly-motivated and highly-competent students of mathematics who wish to complete Grade 12 math courses prior to Grade 12. The topics covered will include the complete Mathematics 8 curriculum as well as most or all of the topics from Mathematics 9.
Selection of students for this course is based on teacher nomination from elementary school, and results of an entrance exam written in the spring of 2011. Students who experience difficulty in this course may be required to transfer into the regular Math 8 course, or into the regular Math 9 course the following year. Students who successfully complete the course may move into Math 9/10 Fast Track the following year.
Mathematics 9/10 Fast Track
Prerequisite: Mathematics 8/9 Fast Track, or teacher recommendation plus screening exam(s)
This course is for motivated, above-average students who have covered topics in both Math 8 and Math 9. The course completes any Mathematics 9 curriculum left over from Math 8/9 Fast Track, as well as the entire Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 course. Students must write the Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 government final exam that is worth 20% of their overall final mark.
Students who want to take Math 9/10 Fast Track, but have not completed Math 8/9 Fast Track, can be recommended for the course by a teacher, and will be required to write one or more exams to prove their suitability and readiness for the course.
Pre-Calculus 11 Enriched
Prerequisite: Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 and a recommendation from the Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-Calculus 10 teacher.
This course will cover the Pre-calculus 11 curriculum with the aim of broadening the topic to include applications of the concepts, investigation of implication of the topics and the development of problem solving skills. Preparation for, and review of, the Euclid Math Contest will be included in the problem solving component of this course. This course is open to motivated and gifted students who have completed Foundations of Mathematics and Pre-calculus 10. Note – this course will not run without a sufficiently-high number of requests.
