The fundamental purpose of the Computer Studies program is to provide students with the knowledge and skills that will enable them to achieve success in secondary school, the workplace, post-secondary education or training, and daily life. The goals of the Computer Studies curriculum are to enable students to: 

• develop critical thinking skills and strategies required to do research, conduct inquiries, and communicate findings accurately and effectively

• develop lifelong learning habits that will help them adapt to computer advances in the changing workplace and world

• make connections that will help to take advantage of potential post-secondary educational and work opportunities
