Pre-Calculus 12 centers around the big ideas of inverses, functions, and transformations.
The course instruction is offered through StudyForge lesson videos, note packages, and practice questions.
The topics include trigonometry, rational and exponential functions, logarithms, polynomials, transformations, and geometric sequences and series.
This course is suited for students looking for post-secondary studies in math, science, and engineering.
This course cannot be used toward Adult Graduation Credits
Have you ever wondered…..why people have different personalities; what intelligence is and how it’s measured; why one person is attracted to another; and why people dream and what dreams mean?
Psychology 11 is an introductory course that will address some of the above questions and more. This course will introduce some history of psychological thought, theories of motivation, emotion and personality as well as human development, learning theory, and social psychology. It will allow students to explore some of these topics from from a Western World’s point of view to various cultures, including an Aboriginal’s view. This course works best for students who have an interest in learning about themselves, who have good writing skills, and who have the motivation and self- discipline to work independently. You will be working on self-reflection write-ups for each of the five units in this course.

Psychology 12 can be taken on its own or as a continuation of Psychology 11. It surveys the topics on history of psychological thought, research in psychology, developmental psychology, psychological disorders, methods of therapy, and neuroscience and biological foundations from a Western World’s point of view to various cultures, including an Aboriginal’s view. This course is best suited for students with strong writing skills and the self-motivation necessary to work well independently.
Science 10 introduces main topics from Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Earth Science. This will form the basis for further studies in future grades and provide students with knowledge to find areas of interest. This course has four main units of study: DNA, Genetics and Natural Selection; Chemical Reactions and Radioactivity; Law of Conservation of Energy; The Universe.
The goal of the Grade 7 Science program is to enable students to appreciate the scientific frame of mind – what it means to be a scientist and to actually do science. The broad questions are:
1) How does a scientist explore and understand the natural world?
2) How is scientific knowledge different from other ways of understanding?
3) How do we actually ‘do’ science?
These questions will be explored by studying the topics of Physics, Biology, Earth Science and Chemistry.
The goal of Science 8 is to provide all students the opportunity to explore the grade specific big ideas in the major branches of science – biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth/space science- leading to a deep understanding of science concepts, while further developing their communication, thinking, personal and social skills. Students will be able to demonstrate their learning of the big ideas as they develop their own inquiries using the scientific method. Students will make connections with their new learning, personal curiosities and passions and their community (place of learning).
The goal of Science 9 is to provide all students the opportunity to explore the grade specific big ideas in the major branches of science – chemistry, reproduction electricity, and earth/space science- leading to a deep understanding of science concepts, while further developing their communication, thinking, personal and social skills. Students will be able to demonstrate their learning of the big ideas as they develop their own inquiries using the scientific method. Students will make connections with their new learning, personal curiosities and passions and their community (place of learning).
Science for Citizens 11 prepares students for science in the work place and focuses on real-world, practical applications of science.
The course focuses on helping students build skills around three big ideas: scientific processes and knowledge impact our daily lives and decisions; how scientific technology and knowledge is used in the workplace; and an understanding of science that enables us, as citizens, to respond and adapt to change on a local and global level.
The course delivers instruction through videos in which students can make notes. There are assignments, chapter tests and projects in which students will apply their understanding and develop competencies.
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).
