What is in the future for our students
Grade 10 courses are prerequisites for Grade 11
Courses. What Subject Level will be best for
maximum student achievement Academic or
Applied? University requires an average of no
less than 72 for non-competitive programs and
80 for competitive programs. This means that in
Grade 11 12 course marks under 70 are really
failing Grades.

It is important to realize!

• If a student is struggling in an academic course
  and the mark is below 70 - summer school make up
  courses can be used to re-enforce learning.
• High School does not need to be
• completed in 4 Years.

  is based on marks.
• Students must have Academic Grade 10
  prerequisites to take Grade 11 University or
  Mixed courses.

THERE ARE MANY CHOICES

• If a student struggles at Academic it is
  important to determine what work habits are
  lacking and develop them.
• If a student is not capable to change their
  habits then success becomes limited.
• If the student limits themselves then it is
  important to limit their academic demands.

To Help in Future Planning two important
websites
OCAS Ontario College Application Service use
this site to investigate all College Programs
offered in Ontario and the academic requirements
needed. OUAC Ontario University Application
Centre use this site to investigate all
University Programs offered in Ontario and the
