Part 2: What courses do I need to take in Grades 11 and 12 to be prepared? (16 marks)

It is important to plan your high school credits based on what the requirements are for your future pathway.
Now that you have completed some research on your options and selected a program or area you are
interested in pursuing, you will plan your grade 11 and 12 school years.

Keep in mind the following:

 ➔ Determine the prerequisite courses required. Provide the course codes and
levels (University / College / Mixed) for credits in grade 11 / 12.
➔ Plan backwards – knowing the grade 12 courses needed for programs in college,
university, or apprenticeships, which courses do you need to select in grade 11?
➔ Fill in the blanks to make a plan for your high school course selection.

Use the Ontario Ministry of Education’s Course Descriptions and Prerequisites to select your
courses. Every possible course is listed in this document however, not all of these courses are
offered at every school so it is important to review your plan with a guidance counsellor.
