Bc Grade 12 Graduation Requirements

You have probably seen the graduation chart showing what you need. But how does this affect you? If you know the rules, you can plan your own schedule. This is very important. Only you know what courses you want or need. Only you know what you are able to take. And with 50 kids to worry about, the administration will have a hard time making a schedule for you without your help – they may make a compromise, or forget a tiny detail that makes all the difference As an example of all of the possibilities, there are two extreme possibilities here for graduation. All have the minimum requirements: English 10, 11, and 12 Social Studies 10 and 11 or 12 Science 10 and 11 or 12 \Math 10 and 11 or 12 1 PE and 1 Arts/Skills Course Planning 12 Graduation Transitions 20 classes total, including 4 in Grade 12 Grade 12 Judaics Hebrew Language Arts

Courses in bold on the list hold more appeal to universities. The bottom chart won't get you very far if you haven't checked beforehand to make sure it is OK. If you are going into math or sciences, take more of them in Grade 11 or 12. For this to work, you have to take Hebrew Language in the morning, or you have to take more classes to make it work. Graduation Transitions replaces the Portfolio. It is done over three years and is explained below. The school will not be able to offer all of these, but the more kids sign on, the more likely it is. The larger the grade, the more flexible it is. AP and IB courses mostly count also, and can be used towards college – but are much harder. When picking an applied skill, try one that can be integrated into th eJudaics (e.g. Family Studies)
