TYPES OF COURSES OFFERED Grade 9 and 10 Courses The following two types of courses are offered in Grades 9 and 10:

• Academic courses develop students’ knowledge and skills through the study of theory and abstract problems. These courses focus on the essential concepts of a subject and explore related concepts as well. They incorporate practical applications as appropriate. • 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. In Grades 9 and 10, students will select an appropriate combination of academic and open courses in order to add to their knowledge and skills, explore their interests and determine the type of educational program they are best suited to undertake in Grades 11 and 12. When selecting their courses in Grades 9 and 10, students are not expected to make binding decisions about a particular education or career pathway; however, they should try to ensure that they have the prerequisites required for future courses they plan to take (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 7.2.1 p 65) .
