Grade 10’s Apply NOW!! For Spring 2025:

https://forms.office.com/r/mQLKUFTySc

This program is open to students who have successfully completed Science 10. To apply, students need to have demonstrated proficiency in their grade 10 coursework including math and english. Students should be good independent learners, participators, collaborators and demonstrate strong work habits for this program.

This program is for students who are planning to pursue Science/STEAM related programs in post-secondary and wish to explore Science/STEAM-related careers while participating in enrichment activities. In addition to covering the Physics 11 & Chemistry 11 courses, there will be multiple opportunities for hands-on experiences through field trips and work experience. Students will work with their Co-op teacher to apply for placements starting in Semester 1. They will start the program in Semester 2. Most placements will take place in March/April following Spring Break and an effort is made to arrange for all students to complete their 90 hours of voluntary work experience at a similar time. Students will complete their course work and a Capstone Project following their work experience placement.

Semester 2 – Grade 11

  • Physics 11 – 4 credits
  • Chemistry 11 – 4 credits
  • Independent Studies 11 – 4 credits
  • Work Experience 12 – 4 credits

Note: Co-op is blocked into the timetable for blocks B-E.  This leaves block A available for an elective if needed.  In Grade 12, students will be able to use what they learned in Co-op (ex. resume, cover letter, interview skills) for their CLC 12 course.
