Grade: Adult

Calculus 12 will give students a basic understanding of calculus which will help those who wish to go into post-secondary math, science, engineering, business or computer science programs.

The course focuses on four big ideas. The concept of a limit is foundational to calculus. Differential calculus develops the concept of instantaneous rate of change. Integral calculus develops the concept of determining a product involving a continuously changing quantity over an interval. Derivates and integrals are inversely related.

Students require a solid understanding of algebra, trigonometry and logarithms to be successful in this course and should have achieved a good grade in pre-Calculus 12 before pursuing this course.

CLC is a senior level online course that continues the learning from Career Life Education. It focuses on applying personal career-life management knowledge, skills, and strategies to the one’s own personal life journey, and includes:

  • A deeper connection to the First Peoples Principles of Learning
  • A deeper examination of career-life concepts and self-knowledge to inform personal life- long learning choices and post-secondary plans
  • Make connections to their local community, post-secondary education experiences, along with national and international career, service and education opportunities
  • Engaging in a personalized learning opportunity of 30 hours, volunteer or paid, that is intended to expand and/or deepen student exposure to career-life possibilities, such as internships, volunteerism, employment, entrepreneurship and more
  • From conception to final product, building and presenting a personalized capstone that celebrates the student’s learning journey and their next steps toward a meaningful future.

CLC is required under the 2018 Graduation Program.

Career Life Education (replacing BC Planning 10) is an important and useful course that teaches practical life skills and is a required course for all students in BC.  Career Life Education emphasizes the practical nature of the course, giving students an opportunity to learn about the graduation program, job search skills and resume writing, and to produce a resume that can be used for finding a summer or part time job. Students also learn about safe work practices, budgeting for college, university or a personal goal, and creating a “life compass” to help in making healthy decisions. This course is delivered online and students are provided with handy entry windows for responses to questions or “upload” buttons for larger files.

Career Life Education 10 is required for 2004 Graduation Program.

Chemistry 11 explores the world of science on an atomic level and is designed to build students’ knowledge of core chemistry concepts.

The course focuses on big ideas related to atoms, molecules and moles, chemical reactions and energy, solution chemistry, and organic chemistry.  Chemistry 11 emphasizes real-life applications of chemistry and helps students connect their learning to the world around them.

Several virtual labs and one hands-on home lab deepen student understanding of content and scaffold important lab skills that will be required for future science courses and a variety of post-secondary programs. Students work through on-line lessons and a textbook. This course contains assignments, labs, projects and two midterm exams.

Students may take this course as part of the EBUS Academy pre-science program. The EBUS pre-science program offers students an opportunity to take online science 11 and 12 courses and access enriched learning opportunities through the University of Northern BC (UNBC).

Chemistry 12 explores chemical reactions: why and how they happen, and chemical systems in equilibrium.

This course builds on students’ knowledge of core chemistry concepts and focuses on big ideas related to reaction rates, dynamic equilibrium, saturated solutions, acid and base strength and oxidation/reduction.

The course is divided into five units each focused on one big idea. Each topic has video lessons, supplemental material, and suggested workbook readings. There are quick-check quizzes, quizzes, assignments and a unit test to both improve and measure learning.

Pre-requisite: Chemistry 11, any Math 11
