The English department offers courses in three sequences and interests: the International Baccalaureate sequence; the English Language Arts 10-2, 20-2, 30-2 sequence.
The International
Baccalaureate Stream
ELA 10-1 Pre IB, ELA 20-1 IB, ELA 30-1 IB
This sequence offers a rigorous course of study for highly motivated and intellectually curious students with strong language skills and a desire for challenge. It will prepare students to write the International Baccalaureate Language A1 internal and external assessments and exams in grades 11 and 12. As a result of extended course requirements, IB English students will complete a 3 credit component in their grade 12 year in addition to ELA 30-1 IB.
ELA 10-1, 20-1, 30-1
This sequence is designed for students whose post secondary plans include university study and/or a career that involves the development, production, teaching and/or study of literature and media. It provides students with an increased emphasis on textual analysis.
ELA 10-2, 20-2, 30-2
This sequence provides for students who need more assistance in developing reading and text study skills than a student in the ELA 10-1, 20-1, 30-1 stream. This features the study of text at a variety of different levels of sophistication for students more diverse in their aspirations. MAP English provides an alternate route to English proficiency.
All course sequences:
- require that students write a diploma level course upon completion of the 30-1 or 30-2 level courses.
- maintain high standards to meet graduation requirements.
- feature the six language arts: listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing.
- emphasize correct and effective communication in a variety of formats.
