The following courses will be offered at Thornhill Secondary School in the 2009-2010 school year. When selecting courses, pleases note the grade level and destination of each course, and pay special attention to the prerequisite or recommended background. Also, note any material costs and course fees. Students should refer to the York Region District School Board Course Directory at www.yrdsb.edu.on.ca for general information concerning the Ontario Secondary School curriculum. It is very important that all students make careful, wise choices during the course selection process in consultation with their parents or guardians. Students are strongly encouraged to seek guidance with their selections from subject teachers, Guidance Services, ESL teachers and Student Support Services. When choosing compulsory courses, students must pay close attention to their learning style and choose the pathway (whether Academic, Applied or Essential) that best meets their needs. Also, it is highly recommended that if students wish to transition from a Grade 9 Applied course to a Grade 10 Academic course in the same subject, that they take the course at the Grade 9 Academic level before taking the Grade 10 course. Individual courses are scheduled for a given year based on the number of students who request the particular course. Courses will be offered when there is sufficient enrolment to support the program, so it is important to choose selections carefully to ensure availability of courses.
