PROGRAM PLANNING AND ASSESSMENT

All Grade 9 and 10 students will study a full program of eight courses. Successful completion will allow students to earn one credit per course for a total of eight credits toward the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.

Students who are not successful in completing a credit may be able to upgrade their course in the summer (at a publicly funded school), or repeat the course the following year. Promotion is on a subject-by-subject basis, not grade-by-grade as in elementary school.

Students' academic progress is measured against curriculum expectations established by the Ministry of Education in each subject and grade. The achievement charts for each subject are printed in the curriculum documents. The school has these documents on file. The documents are available to parents on request.

A variety of assessment techniques will be used by teachers to measure students' levels of achievement at various points through the year. These will include regular class work, assignments, projects, portfolios, presentations, tests, and formal examinations.
