selectiontips IMPORTANT NOTE:
See the chart on page 3 for the OSSD requirements
needed to graduate.
COURSE SELECTION TIPS
If you are going into Grade 9
• For most pathways, you will need English, Math, Science,
French, Geography, Phys. Ed., plus two optional courses.
• Carefully consider your grade 8 teacher(s) recommendations
on pathway selection for each compulsory subject. Discuss
these with your parents/guardians when completing your
course planning sheet.
• Select the pathway that will best fit your educational needs
and abilities. Set yourself up to be successful and challenged to
reach your potential.
• Think about your optional courses and select courses which
appeal to your personal interests. Grade 9 optional courses are
the starting point for similar courses at other grades.
If you are going into Grade 10
• For most pathways, you will need English, Math, Science,
History, Careers/Civics & Citizenship, plus three optional
courses.
• Think about your learning in grade 9. Take a good look at your
marks, attendance and work habits. Select the pathway for
grade 10 based on your past performance and future goals.
• You have more choice this year—put careful thought into
your optional courses. You may want to continue in an area of
interest from grade 9 or try something new.
• The compulsory half credit course in Career Studies (GLC2O) in
grade 10 will provide you with opportunities to plan for your
future.
[5]If you are going into Grade 11:
• For most pathways, you will need English and Math. The
remaining courses are based on your individual needs and
plans.
• Assess your marks, work habits, attendance, and overall
learning in grades 9 and 10. As you move into your senior years
of high school, you want to be on the pathway that best fits
your needs and goals.
• Start thinking about post-secondary plans if you haven’t
already done so. Research apprenticeship, college, and
university entry requirements to ensure you take appropriate
courses to prepare for grade 12. Many grade 12 courses have
prerequisites (courses which must be taken before being
eligible). Use of the resources listed on the next page.
• You have the most choices this year! Once you’ve planned for
your post-secondary requirements, choose courses that are of
personal interest and/or related to your career plans.
If you are going into Grade 12:
• For most pathways, English is the only remaining requirement.
Other courses depend on your individual needs for meeting
graduation requirements and for gaining entry to your post-
secondary program of interest.
• This year takes serious planning! You need to research your
post-secondary plans and select the courses which will prepare
you for those post-secondary destinations. Do NOT assume
you can easily make changes next year. Select the proper
courses now to avoid trying to change into a course later only
to find out it is already full. Use of the resources listed on the
next page.
• All students entering grade 12 should make sure that Ontario
Secondary School Diploma requirements are being met in
order to graduate.
[6]backwards
planning
RESOURCES FOR ‘BACKWARDS PLANNING’
As Sean Covey says in The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens,
you should “begin with the end in mind” when making plans. This
enables you to make informed choices as you determine course
selections each year.
All Students
Students on all pathways may consider an apprenticeship and may
find the following websites helpful:
• www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/tcu/
• www.apprenticesearch.com
• www.oyap.com
• www.ontariocolleges.ca

• www.ontario.ca/yourfuture
CO-OP
Cooperative Education can be a key part of your secondary school
plan. Speak to a Co-op Teacher about potential placements related
to your area of interest. Additional information regarding the
Cooperative Education Program, the Ontario Youth Apprenticeship
Program (OYAP), and Specialist High Skills Majors (SHSM) in
Construction, Transportation and the Arts are included in the
Specialized Programs section of this Calendar and on the Weldon
website at iew.tldsb.on.ca.
[7]College Students on the college pathway should explore www.ontario colleges.ca. Under ‘Programs’ search by keyword and hit the ‘visit’ button which links to the individual college website. Check admission requirements carefully in order to ensure that appropriate course selections are made during your grade 11 and 12 years. Pay particular attention to any Math, English and Science requirements that are mentioned by the colleges. Many students find that a Cooperative Education experience in secondary school helps them in making informed choices for college plans. University Students on the university pathway are reminded that six 4U/4M courses (including ENG4U) are required for university programs. More specific information regarding prerequisite courses and other entry requirements for particular programs at Ontario universities is available through www.ontariouniversitiesinfo.ca. Choose your grade 11 and 12 courses carefully based on the admission requirements for programs of interest. Watch for other courses that, though not required, are ‘recommended’ or that are related to your post-secondary goals. Because the grade 12 year can be full meeting the 4U/M requirements, students on this pathway who wish to take Cooperative Education at secondary school should consider it in grade 11. Workplace Students on the workplace pathway may explore both college and apprenticeship opportunities for which they have the required courses—check English and Math prerequisites carefully. Students moving directly to the workplace will gain valuable experience through the grade 12 Cooperative Education placement. Workplace course curriculum is designed to prepare students for the workplace and active citizenship. See your Guidance Counsellor and/or the Head of Special Education for additional resources suited to your individual needs. [8]
