The Grade Nine Program contains nine courses. Students will be enrolled in eight courses and the learning objectives of Career Education 9 will be integrated throughout the year. Unlike the Grade 8 academic courses that run year long, courses in grade 9 follow the Semester system like the majority of the school. Each student completes 4 courses in the first half of the year, then completes another 4 courses in the second half of the year.
