Your first goal should be to keep career doors open as possible by choosing courses which provide the most flexibility and alternatives. Decisions about Grade 10 will affect the choices available to you throughout high school and afterward.

Each high school course is assigned a credit value. One credit is equivalent to 25 hours of instruction. All courses require a 50% mark to obtain credits. Grade 10 courses are given numbers starting with a 1 - e.g. Mathematics 10, Mechanics 1. Grade 11 courses are given numbers starting with a 2. Grade 12 courses are given numbers starting with a 3. Most courses proceed in sequence from Grade 10 through Grade 11 to Grade 12 - e.g. Art 10, 20, 30, or Social Studies 10, 20, 30, or Cosmetology 1, 2, 3. To proceed to the next course in a sequence, a minimum of 50% must be achieved in the required prerequisite course. However, in advanced courses, 50% does not ensure a reasonable chance of success and so a minimum of 65% is strongly recommended.
A high school diploma requires 100 credits. The following minimum credit loads are required:
