The Academy of Indigenous Studies is a full 20-credit program that can be taken by all

Central Okanagan Public School students throughout grades 10 through 12. While a

broad focus on British Columbia's Indigenous culture is examined, students will

experience a more holistic approach with the local Okanagan culture. Students will

participate in authentic, hands-on Indigenous activities aimed at enriching their

understanding of the local culture while making a positive contribution to the

community. This is a unique and innovative opportunity for students to gain a greater

sense of how their interaction with local Indigenous culture has an effect on future

generations of British Columbians.

The goal of the Gifted and Enriched Program is to address and provide educational opportunities

to students with an aptitude, interest or potential to go beyond the scope of provincially offered

curriculums. The Advanced Placement Program exists to provide an opportunity for students to

demonstrate an advanced level of competency in the curriculum which is recognized by post-

secondary institutions. Students wishing to pursue a post-secondary career would benefit from a

‘college preparatory’ course of study, which AP Prep Programs and the Advanced Placement

courses provide. The benefits not only include supplementary course credits but also helps in the

successful transition of the student to a post-secondary career setting. In each of the Advanced

Placement course offerings an independent exam administered by the College Board is written in

May and is subject to an administration fee. The AP exam is written in May.

Advanced Placement courses offered:

• Anatomy & Physiology 12

AP

• Calculus 12 AP

• Chemistry 12 AP

• English 12 AP

• Human Geography 12 AP

• Music: Composition &

Theory 12 AP

• Physics 12 AP

• Psychology 12 AP

The following AP Prep courses are designed to prepare students for the AP classes:

• Chemistry 11 AP Prep

• Found & Pre-Calc Math 10

• Parents should also note that every effort is made to parallel immersion courses with their

English-language counterparts. Students will then have experienced the same content and

skills as their peers in the English Program. In addition to the subject learning objectives, each

course in French Immersion also includes target language objectives for which students are

accountable.

• Teachers of mathematics courses have developed two instruments to help students develop

mathematical understanding in both French and English

a) French-English vocabulary lists of mathematical terms

b) Chapter review exercises/tests in both French and English

• Students are encouraged to take as many courses as possible in French to expose them to

concepts and vocabulary that will help them with their pursuits of being bilingual.

FRENCH IMMERSION LANGUAGE ARTS 10 –

exploration and understanding of a variety of

these sources that the students will be able

communicate effectively and thoughtfully.

Speaking, reading, writing and listening skills will

all be highlighted through various learning

activities. Students will use these abilities to

critically consider the role of personal identity and

cultural appreciation, and how they affect the

world in which we live.

FRENCH IMMERSION LANGUAGE ARTS 11-

rich and sophisticated communication style. They

will use nuance and the symbolic to enhance their

writing style. The themes of this year, Friendship,

Belonging and Duty vs Desire, and the literature

chosen for this year, will lead students to

PSI Entrance Requirements WHAT ARE THE ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR POST SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS?

Every post-secondary institution (PSI) creates its own entrance requirements. A PSI includes any

schooling after secondary school – colleges, technical schools, universities, etc. What a student needs

for admission at UBC Okanagan is not the same as at UBC Vancouver, Okanagan College or the

University of Alberta. Typically there are entrance requirements for the school in general and then

there are specific entrance requirements for each faculty or program and students must meet all of

them to apply. Most PSI’s look only at grade 12 marks for entrance, but that is not consistently the

case. Students need to research the entrance requirements for any PSI that they might be interested

in attending after high school and then ensure that they are taking the appropriate courses.

UBC/UBCO are now looking at grade 11 marks for entrance if the approved grade 12 course has not

been completed by February of the student's graduation year. For details, see tab marked

"UBC/UBCO Admissions Changes"

Entrance Requirements to BC Universities There are no generic requirements that can be stated to ensure a student is eligible for university

entrance. Each university has differing general requirements for entrance and then within each

faculty there are additional entrance requirements that must be met. The only common course is

English 12. Students, therefore, must consult the university’s website or calendar to investigate

what courses are needed.

Many times university entrance requirements refer to “Approved Academic Grade 12 Courses” that are

accepted at the institution for entrance. The list varies from university to university so YOU MUST REFER TO INDIVIDUAL POST SECONDARY INSTITUTION WEBSITES to ensure you are taking the appropriate courses that

will allow you to apply to that particular university.
