    In order to ensure student success, Grand Erie encourages all students to give careful consideration to the course type chosen in each subject area. 

    Grade 11 - 12

    There are five types of program pathways are offered:

    • COLLEGE COURSES
      Are designed to prepare students for college diploma programs and apprenticeships. 
    • WORKPLACE COURSES
      Are designed to prepare students for entry to the workplace and/or apprenticeship.
    • UNIVERSITY/COLLEGE COURSES
      Are designed to prepare students for either college or university programs.
    • OPEN COURSES
      Are available to all students regardless of pathway.
    • UNIVERSITY COURSES
      Are designed to prepare students for university degree programs or apprenticeships.

    13 Optional Credits

    Optional credits may be earned in all subjects, including those named in the compulsory credit list, provided that such optional credits are additional to the compulsory credits. 

    The optional credits allow for concentration in a curriculum area of special interest.

    Course Codes

    Every subject is identified by a common course code. The code consists of five mandated characters and a sixth character for school use. Every course in secondary school has a unique COURSE CODE. All courses have the first five characters as mandated by the Ministry of Education.
