This course is designed to help the students master the art of reading and writing. It consists basically of two parts. Part One: Reading Literature where students interact with literary selections while practicing mastering language arts skills. Part Two: Reading Informational Texts where students interact with authentic real-world texts while practicing mastering the skills.

American literatures of various genres are studied from a chronological approach, with the emphasis on the works as a reflection of the times in which they were written. Students write essays in several modes of discourse, concentrating on developing clarity, coherence, and organization. Vocabulary is studied from a text for college-bound students designed to improve scores of SAT and other standardized tests. Students explore related areas of English and review topics and skills covered in grades 8-11.
During this course, students learn solving problems using algebraic equations, inequalities, functions and graphs. They study different kinds of functions and transformations applied to them. A further study of trigonometry and co-ordinate geometry is also an important asset in their math course. They also learn how to understand, collect, analyze and use data. The course covers representation of data, study of matrices, charts, and methods of illustrations with the help of calculators and computers. Topics also cover linear and polynomial functions, exponents and sequences.
Skills and knowledge needed:
Starting this course, students should be able to master all basic aspects of algebra, trigonometry and co-ordinate geometry. They should be able to use ratios, proportions and percentages as means of computation and comparison. A basic knowledge of probabilities, data presentation and matrices is essential, so is the use of the scientific calculator.
Chemistry:-
This course both develops the knowledge gained in grade 9 and provides the students with a more advanced, detailed look at modern chemistry.
American History:
This program focuses on interpreting events, understanding the cause and effect relationship between events, people and the growth of the United States of America.
Sociology:
This course is designed to make the exploration of sociology an enjoyable and exciting experience for teachers and students alike. This course encourages students to think like sociologists, thus enabling them to develop a sociological imagination. This will enable students to view their own lives within a larger social and historical context. This sociology course will also help students understand and thus appreciate the rich diversity that is possible in social life by exposing them to data from a wide variety of cross-cultural and historical sources.
Throughout grade 11, there is more emphasis on complex sentence structures and additional verb tenses. This enables students to gain further ability in pronunciation, conversation, grammar and vocabulary. The communication topics are then expanded upon and there is an increased stress on reading and writing skills. Throughout the years, students will continue to expand their vocabulary through dialogues and essays. They will continue to learn more grammar; however, more emphasis will be placed on speaking, reading and writing on their own. They will read short stories and discuss them in French, and/or write summaries in French.
