Preparing to select your courses for 2024-2025
Start with discussing your pathway plans and goals with your parents/caregivers. If you have any questions, ask your guidance counsellor or teachers. Use the information and links contained on this webpage to do your research.
myBlueprint is key to helping you plan your pathway. Be sure you log into your account and use the resources within the site to help you. New for 2024-25 – we will rely on the course descriptions contained within myBlueprint to help you make your decisions about course selections.
Once you’ve finalized all your course selections, you will submit these choices in myBlueprint (Course Selection Submission is scheduled to open on January 15 2024 – we will send you reminders!)
Step 1: Choose Your Compulsory Courses
Students are required to take 9 courses in Grade 10 (7 full credit and 2 half-credit). This is important when you double-check your course selections.
All Grade 10 students must take the following six compulsory courses:
- English – all students will select ENG2DI
- Mathematics – all students will select MPM2DI
- Science – all students will select SNC2DI
- Canadian History – all students will select CHC2DI (note: Extended French students will be taking CHC2DF in 2024-25)
- Civics – CHV2OH (note: Extended French students should select CHV2OF in 2024-2025)
- Careers – GLC2OH (note: Extended French students should select GLC2OF in 2024-2025)
Step 2: Choose Your Three Optional/Elective Courses
After choosing six compulsory courses, you will choose three elective courses. With the exception of Grade 10 French, all optional/elective courses are “open” level (meaning that you do not need to have taken any pre-requisite courses).
