At the end of World War II, the world was shocked by images of emaciated people, piles of dead bodies, and stories of millions of civilians slaughtered. Faced with the reality of the horrors of the Holocaust, the world said, “Never again.” Documents like the Universal Declaration of Human Rights were drafted saying, “disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind.” Hundreds of nations signed the document, saying, “Never again.”

But though the world said “never again,” genocide has happened again and again. And it may even be happening in your lifetime.

When you study Genocide, you will inevitably see images that are hard to see, and hear stories that are hard to hear. These images and these stories shine a light on some of the darkest atrocities in human history. These things are hard to look at. But every generation must look. Every generation must see. Every generation must testify, “These things happened, and these things were wrong, and we must ensure that these things never happen again.”

The hope in telling these stories is not to make you cynical, jaded, and desensitized to the monstrous things that one person can do to another; instead, the hope is that you will be aware, informed, and become a part of a new generation that will say, “Never again,” and then actually make it come true.

Please note – this course requires a face-to-face meeting with the course teacher before students are able to begin work in the course.

AP Biology explores the foundations of life on earth, starting with the biochemistry that occurs inside cells and progressing through the function of organelles and genetics. Towards the latter half of the course, students will explore the theory of natural selection, evolution and the links within ecology.

The Comparative Civilizations Program (with overseas travel) is an intensely spiritual and life-affirming experience. After the challenges of the Covid-19 phenomenon, it has been decided that we will try and bring back the program for the 2023/2024 school year with the trip to Europe occurring some time in March of 2024. Below is a sample draft of course credit and potential travel destinations.

Please note that you can earn a minimum of 12 credits by choosing at least three courses from the following Comparative Civilizations Program course list:

• CompCiv – Art Studio 12 (with overseas travel)
• CompCiv – Christian Studies 12 (with overseas travel)
• CompCiv – Comparative Cultures 12 (with overseas travel)
• CompCiv – Philosophy 12 (with overseas travel)
• CompCiv – World Religions 12 (with overseas travel)


The remaining 8 credits can be earned through completion of a Final Summative Project which focus on TARGETED lessons pertaining to a students non-CORE choices.

Each study/travel course combo is designed to best fit your particular interests and transcript needs. For more information about coursework and credits see the program page or contact Mr. Eric Vanee .

This is an awesome course that dives into the world of computers and computer software! Students learn about the physical aspects of computers all the way to learning about spreadsheet software, how to use the command line, and a little bit of programming. This course is offered as a hybrid course to allow students some freedom to explore their interests. In the last two units on programming, students can choose which programming language they are curious to learn about. Additionally, on the final project, students get to focus on their favourite unit of the course whether it is physical tech, working with spreadsheets, programming, etc!

This course utilizes the interactive, comprehensive, and AP endorsed curriculum from Code.org that uses the Java programming language. The syllabus can be found here. Students also have the option to complete the AP exam, and if they score high enough they can earn university computer science credits to apply to post secondary education. Please note, families will be invoiced for the associated exam fees if a student chooses to write the AP exam.

An extension of what is learned in Computer Science 11, this course is for those who want to go deeper! Students learn deeper programming concepts using one of the most in-demand programming languages– Java. We will work through seven non-introductory chapters of the textbook “Introduction to Java Programming” by Y. Daniel Liang. Students do not need to download any programming software onto their computers since we will be using a great browser-based IDE– Repl.it. The course is offered as a hybrid course to allow students some freedom to explore their interests in projects!

No prior programming experience is needed for this introduction to computer science course! We start right at the beginning. In this course, students learn one of the most in-demand programming languages– Java. We will work through the first seven chapters of the textbook “Introduction to Java Programming” by Y. Daniel Liang. Students do not even need to download any programming software onto their computers since we will be using a great browser-based IDE– Repl.it. The course is offered as a hybrid course to allow students some freedom to explore their interests in projects whether they are curious about making games, building a sudoku-solver, mathematics in programming, etc!

Get ready to learn some amazing math in an amazing way!

This AP Calculus course is an engaging, interactive, and student-friendly course that suits all learning styles, with auditory, visual, and hands-on components throughout. Each lesson involves interactive videos that allow students to go at their own speed, with the ability to pause and rewind at any point. Many lessons include fun, interactive applets and dynamic graphs that enhance student understanding.

Each video is accompanied by a student-friendly note package that allows students to take notes to whatever level of detail they like. There are also tons of practice questions with full, detailed solutions for each, which means students will never get stuck and can learn how to solve even the most difficult calculus problems. Students can also retake every quiz and test to help them master the material and perform their best.

This course is strongly recommended for students who are planning to take Calculus at post-secondary. The material covered in this course roughly corresponds to the material addressed in both first and second semester Calculus at the university level. Students also have the option to complete the AP exam, and if they score high enough they can earn univeristy math credits to apply to post secondary education. Please note, families will be invoiced for the associated exam fees if a student chooses to write the AP exam.

This course is strongly recommended for students who are planning to take Calculus at a post-secondary institution. Students who complete AP Calculus AB will learn material that is roughly equivalent to the topics covered in a first semester univeristy calculus course. Students also have the option to complete the AP exam, and if they score high enough they can earn univeristy math credits to apply to post secondary education. Please note, families will be invoiced for the associated exam fees if a student chooses to write the AP exam.
