Analysis on the Course Selection System of Credit System in Canadian Senior High Schools

Canadian high schools are very different from domestic high schools. Canadian high schools will allow students to choose courses. Therefore, for those who are familiar with the traditional high school education in China, students who go to Canadian high schools need to learn to choose and adapt to this course selection system. Let's introduce the course selection system of Canadian high schools.

Credit training:

Students can take 8 credits per academic year and 4 credits per semester. Four credits means four courses. There are only four classes a day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon, and each class is 90 minutes. The choice of subjects is that students choose by themselves according to the school schedule, and then the school plans and allocates them in a unified way. For example, a ninth-grade student took four classes of English, mathematics, physical education and art in the ninth grade last semester, so he took these four classes every day. It will take the whole semester. Next semester, his classes may become ninth grade science, geography, French and modern arts and crafts. And his other classmates may be completely upside down with him, or they may be partially the same. Students who have completed each semester and scored more than 50 points in the semester are qualified and can get 1 credit. So you can get 8 credits in one year and 32 credits in four years. If you fail in two subjects, as long as it is not a compulsory subject, there are still enough 30 credits to get the diploma. For failing subjects, if they are compulsory, students need to make up lessons in the summer vacation, or wait for the new school year to make up lessons.

Credit reserve:

For the content of 30 credits, Ontario Ministry of Education stipulates that 18 credits are compulsory and 12 credits are optional. For example, there are four English credits, that is, students take one every year in grade 9- 12. Science 2 credits, ranked in grade 9 and 10 respectively. There are three courses in mathematics, except Grade 9 10. Students are required to take an examination of mathematics in higher grades in Grade 1 1 2. Except for this requirement, these subjects are consistent, that is, if students fail in science in grade 9, 10 is not allowed to attend science in grade.

What credits are needed?

Now 18 compulsory credits are listed in detail as English 4, Math 3, Science 2, 1 French, 1 Geography, 1 History, 1 Art. There are four kinds of arts: art, music, dance and drama. Choose one. 1 P.E., the contents of physical education class here include static health education, 0.5 civic courses and 0.5 career planning, which are required in the first semester of grade 10. The other three credit courses are designed scientifically and flexibly. Students need to choose from English intensive reading, third language, social humanities, advanced historical geography and other courses.
