Courses
Parents/guardians and students will select courses in collaboration with elementary school teachers, guidance counselors, student success/support teachers and administrators. It is important that students do an honest self-assessment, matching their ability with their interests and aptitudes. Remember that initial decisions made in grade are not final. There are many pathways to post-secondary destinations.
