Credits fall into two categories:
Compulsory Course – a course in the subject areas listed for Grade 9 to Grade 12 that each student must earn a credit towards their Graduation Requirements (e.g. English Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Physical Education, Science etc..)
Optional Course (also known as Elective course) – is a course that students may choose based on their interests, abilities, values and career goals (e.g. Arts, Languages, Music, Industrial Arts, Information and Communication Technology etc..). Courses are either full credit or a half credit value. Students and parents are encouraged to discuss credit requirements with their school counsellors and teachers.
