ENG4U is a Grade 12 University Preparation English course designed to strengthen students’ literacy, communication, and critical‑thinking skills as they transition toward postsecondary pathways. According to the course outline, the focus is on helping students “consolidate the literacy, communication, and critical and creative thinking skills necessary for success in academic and daily life” . Throughout the 110 hours of study, learners engage with challenging literary, informational, and media texts from diverse periods and cultures, while developing greater control and confidence in academic reading, writing, speaking, and media analysis.
Students will explore short stories, poetry, media texts, non‑fiction essays, a full novel study of The Great Gatsby, and Shakespeare’s King Lear. The course emphasizes interpreting complex texts, analyzing stylistic and rhetorical choices, and producing polished oral, written, and media work. As the outline states, students will “create oral, written, and media texts in a variety of forms” and learn to “use academic language coherently and confidently” .
By the end of ENG4U, students will have refined the essential skills needed for university‑level English, including critical reading, effective communication, independent thinking, and the ability to connect literature to broader social, cultural, and personal contexts.
Courses Type: University Preparation
Prerequisite: ENG3U, Grade 11 English or NBE3U, English: Understanding Contemporary First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Voices
- Teacher: Elham Bidarmanesh
This course extends students’ experience with functions. Students will investigate the properties of polynomial, rational, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions; develop techniques for combining functions; broaden their understanding of rates of change; and develop facility in applying these concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended both for students taking the Calculus and Vectors course as a prerequisite for a university program and for those wishing to consolidate their understanding of mathematics before proceeding to any one of a variety of university programs.

Courses Type: University Preparation
Prerequisite: SCH3U, Grade 11 Chemistry
- Teacher: Kristy Suen
This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in three dimensional spaces; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modeling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course.
