GRADE 10 CURRICULUM

As in Grade 9, the proposed curriculum for Grade 10 continues the present offerings (with one change) and incorporates enhancements which make use of local resources and expertise. Mini-courses will be offered twice each year. From Grade l0 on students can select courses from other grades provided they have the prerequisites.

In Construction Technology students will be able to construct a small building under the direction of an expert builder. Art and Music will be offered as separate courses.

In Grade 10 students are permitted to challenge for credit in Physical and Health Education (PHE 321), facilitated by coaching staff; and Drama (a Grade 11 course) facilitated by skilled volunteers. Other challenge for credit courses, such as Gaelic, may be offered later or students may pursue them independently. Students may also diversify programs by selecting among distance education courses delivered by the regional school board (see list above). Distance education courses that do not have a prerequisite are available to students in Grade 10.

*In the well-known Foxfire projects conducted In Georgia, USA, students gathered oral history on traditions and life-styles of their region and publish them, first as a school newspaper and then as books.
