Law Studies 12 introduces the student to the legal rights and responsibilities, which allow citizens to participate more fully in society.
Laws maintain the status quo, but they are also a force for change.
Students will examine how laws have changed over time. Canada’s laws and legal framework affect many aspects of your daily life. The more you understand about these things the easier it is to navigate through daily events. These skills will be helpful to you throughout life.
Life Sciences 11 introduces students to living things and to the taxonomic system. You will learn about how scientists classify living things and features of organisms big and small. There are four main units of study: Evolution and Taxonomy, Cells, Cell processes; Viruses and Microbiology, Plants and Animals.
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).

This course cannot be used toward Adult Graduation Credits
This course focuses on the basics of photography.
Students will learn to use their camera or Smartphone, experiment with settings in a range of environments while completing engaging projects.
The essential design elements, as well as composition techniques, feature throughout the course.
Required Materials:
- Smartphone, Point and Shoot Camera or DSLR
- Tripod
Photography 12 is an engaging and comprehensive course aligned with the British Columbia curriculum, designed to foster advanced skills and critical thinking in the field of digital photography.
This Grade 12 course builds upon the foundational knowledge emphasizing creativity, technical proficiency, and a deeper understanding of the photographic medium.
Required Materials:
- DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex Camera)
- Tripod
Physical and Health Education 10 is divided into four units:
- Physical Literacy
- Healthy Living
- Social and Community Health
- Mental Well Being
For each unit, there is also a corresponding 20 hours of activity that needs to be tracked and logged, for a total of 80 hours of physical activity, for the course.
Physical and Health Education 10 is required for graduation.
Physical Geography 12 is a comprehensive course, which examines the world around us from both a regional and global perspective using the five themes of geography, namely location, place, human/environmental interaction, movement and regions. Learners will investigate physical geography topics such as the cause and effects of plate tectonics, gradational processes, weather and climate, biospheres and energy, and then apply this knowledge to understanding some of the many of the problems associated with managing our environment including various types of pollution and their role in global warming and global dimming.
Physics 11 explores the world of motion and energy. It is designed to build students’ knowledge of core physics concepts. The course focuses on four big ideas. An object’s motion can be predicted, analyzed and described. Forces influence the motion of an object. Energy is found in different forms, is conserved, and has the ability to do work. Mechanical waves transfer energy but not matter.
Physics 11 emphasizes real-life applications 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 writing skills. Physics 11 provides a solid foundation for students carrying on to physics 12.

Physics 12 explores the world of motion and fields. It is designed to build on the knowledge the student gained in physics 11.
The course focuses on four big ideas. Measurements of motion depends on our frame of reference. Forces can cause linear and circular motion. Momentum is conserved within a closed isolated system. Forces and energy interactions occur within fields.
Physics 12 emphasizes real-life applications and helps students connect their learning to the world around them.
Several virtual labs deepen student understanding of content and scaffold important lab writing skills. There is also one final home project that expands on one or more areas from the course. Physics 11 should be taken prior to physics 12 to ensure all necessary skills are developed.
