In Grades 11 and 12, students develop an increasingly individual approach to their studies, based on their academic strengths and interests, and in preparation for their post-secondary destinations. Grade 11 students are required to take a minimum of seven courses, including compulsory and elective courses. Grade 12 students must take a minimum of six courses and complete their course requirements for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma, while specializing further in preparation for their studies in college or university.
