Havergal College Course Calendar, 2019-20 Academic Year

Grade 11 and 12 Courses (OS 7.2.2) The following types of courses are offered in Grades 11 and 12: • University preparation courses are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the entrance requirements for university programs. • University/college preparation courses are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need to meet the entrance requirements for specific programs offered at universities and colleges. • Open courses, which comprise a set of expectations that are appropriate for all students, are designed to broaden students’ knowledge and skills in subjects that reflect their interests and prepare them for active and rewarding participation in society. They are not designed with the specific requirements of university, college or the workplace in mind. Havergal does not offer college or workplace preparation courses. Havergal does not offer transfer courses. In Grades 11 and 12, students will focus increasingly on their individual interests and will identify and prepare for their post-secondary pathways. (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario. Policy and Program. Ontario Schools Kindergarten to Grade 12 : Policy and Program Requirements. Toronto: Ministry of Education, 2011. Print. Section 7.2.2 p 72) Advanced Placement (AP) Courses Havergal College offers timetabled AP courses in some subjects, depending on sufficient enrolment. These are Grade 12 University Preparation Courses, which also provide the extra content needed to prepare students to write AP exams. Students in Advanced Placement courses will earn the related Grade 12 University Preparation course credit. Students may also choose to write AP exams in other subjects not offered by Havergal. All students are invited by the AP Coordinator to register for other AP exams and pay the associated fees. Course Prerequisites (OS 7.2.3) Courses in Grades 10, 11 and 12 may have prerequisites for enrolment. All prerequisite courses are identified in Ministry Curriculum Policy documents and no courses apart from these may be identified as prerequisites. If a parent or an adult student requests that a prerequisite be waived, the Principal will determine whether or not the prerequisite should be waived. The Principal may also initiate consideration of whether a prerequisite should be waived. The Principal will make his or her decision in consultation with the Vice Principal of Teaching and Learning, parent and subject Department Head. (Canada. Ministry of Education, Ontario.
