Preview / Review Course

(Formerly Academic Completion)

 

Online Registration opens April 15, 2024

Online Registration closes June 23, 2024

For current Grade 7 - 9 students who aim to preview upcoming course material or seek to deepen their understanding after completing the course, as well as solidify the foundational lessons.

There will not be any percentage grading. The new grading system uses the proficiency scale where student performance is labeled as either Emerging, Developing, Proficient, or Extending. 

Preview courses give a basic overview, not the full curriculum. They do not replace an entire grade.  Students who finish these courses won't get a letter grade or have them listed on their transcripts.

No referral is required.
