Advanced PlacementUniversity Prep in:

AP ELA

AP Calculus

AP Psychology – Can take this in grade 11

AP Studio Art

AP Computer Science (*teacher mentorship)

AP French (*teacher mentorship) AP Spanish (*teacher mentorship)

Most AP Classes take two semesters to complete and grants two high schoolcredits. The 3 hour university level final exam is written in May. Amark of 4 or 5 on the AP Exam may result in a university 100 credit.

More Rigorous:

More homework

More reading

More commitment

Workplace Pathway

Workplace and Apprenticeship Math will be offered in the second semester.

This math class should be taken by students who know that their career andpost-secondary path requires this math.

Students taking this math, can also take any other math course offered insemester one.

A second semester offering allows students that struggle in math with a secondchance to earn a math if they are not successful in semester one math.

Science Pre-Requisites

*note: all 20 and 30 level Sciences are only available in English



For those students who are interested in taking all three 30 level naturalsciences so as to keep all of their post-secondary options open, apathway similar to the following is recommended. This suggestion allows

students to take all of the 30 level sciences without having to take morethan one science in any given semester.

The key is to take science 10 in the first semester of grade 10. Thisallows you to start taking the 20 levels science classes in the secondsemester of grade 10 to avoid two science classes in one semester in

grade 11 or 12.

What happens if

I failed a classthis year?

Summer School – in class through Regina Public School Division ($175-$300)

Summer School online – Regina Catholic ($400) or Saskatoon Catholic ($500)

Retake the course at LeBoldus in the 2016-2017 academic year

Options:



Why is it so important to pick your classes carefully?

The classes you choose now, will determinehow many sections (classes) we make foreach course.

The classes that you choosenow, will also determine whichcareers you can go into when

you are done high school.



Planning For The FutureStudents who are undecided about their

education, career or life direction should:

Get to know themselves by assessing their

knowledge, and skills.

Think about their interests, personality and

values.

Do an interest inventory (Strong Interest Inventory)

or utilize www.myBlueprint.ca

Search www.schoolfinder.com



Try more electives or get more involved in

school clubs and projects.

Visit Student Services & listen to announcementsabout Career Fairs, Post-Secondary Workshops or

Spend-A-Day Programs.

Re-Evaluate Their Direction by keeping options

open and re-assessing them each year.
