Course Planning 2011: The "Typical" Grade 10 Timetable

While no timetables are 100% identical, the grade 10 timetable is actually more "rigid" than that of the grade 9s. A "typical" grade 10 timetable would contain the following 8 courses:
  • a Language Arts 10 (regular, enriched, adapted, mini, modified)
  • a Social Studies 10 (regular, enriched, adapted, mini, modified)
  • a Science 10 (regular, adapted, mini)
  • a Math 10 (Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 10, or Foundations of Math & Pre-calculus 10)
  • PE 10 (PE 10 Boys, PE 10 Girls, or PE 10 - Outdoor Education option)
  • Planning 10 (Planning 10, Planning 10-Drama)
  • Language or Elective
  • Elective
Students who are taking a course outside the regular scheduled time (e.g. jazz band) may take an additional elective course (i.e. a ninth course). Students who sign up for online course(s) are expected to take a full 8-course load at Templeton as well.

For students in the challenge program. Successful completion of your course (Science 9 Challenge or Math 9 Challenge) would give you the course credits for grades 9 and 10 science and/or math. Therefore, when signing up for courses, you would choose a science and/or math course at the grade 11 level. For science, the options include physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, and science and technology 11. For mathematics, the options include apprenticeship and workplace math 11, foundations of math 11, and pre-calculus 11. Each of these courses have different post-secondary implications - it is very important that you consider them, and plan ahead. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
