Business studies remains a strong focus, and this program is now complemented by a full range of core academic subjects, computer classes, music, art, drama, and health and physical education. Courses are offered at the University, University/College and College levels for grade 12 students. Most of our graduates proceed to post-secondary education at university or college. Grade 11 offerings at the university, college or open levels allow for a range of post-secondary destination planning.
