选课

Advice on Course Selection

有关选课的建议

Students always ponder what to choose when it comes to course selection.  Grade 9 and 10 students have very limited course choice because of the 18 compulsory credits in the Canadian system.  Once you have completed your grade 9 and 10 compulsory courses, you will have more choices.

 当涉及到选课时，学生们总是在考虑该选什么。9年级和10年级的学生有非常有限的课程选择，因为加拿大教育体系规定高中有18个必修学分。完成9年级和10年级的必修课后，您将有更多的选择。

As a guidance counsellor, I always begin by reviewing the interests and academic strengths with my student.  For example: “What do you like to study?”  “What are you good at studying?”,   “What do you plan to do after school?”  In the Canadian school system, we talk about “pathways”.  Pathways are your Education Paths.  The basic and best suitable paths for international high school students are College and University.  Colleges offer smaller classes mainly for practical or applied learning and the programs are more career-specific.  College programs can offer a certificate (1-2years), a diploma (2 years), an advanced diploma (3 years) or a degree (4 years).  Universities offer larger classes with independent learning programs.  The programs are not necessarily career-specific.  You can study an Undergraduate degree (3-4 yrs), a Graduate degree (+1-2yr) or a Doctoral degree (+1-2 yr).  Today, many colleges and universities are in partnerships to offer bridging programs leading to both a diploma and a degree.

 作为一名课程指导老师，我总是从查看我的学生的兴趣和学术优势开始。你喜欢学什么?你最擅长什么?你打算放学后做什么?在加拿大的学校及教育体系中，我们谈论的是路径（pathway）。路径就是你的教育或者升学路径。对于国际高中学生来说，最基本和最适合的路径是升读学院和大学。学院提供的课程规模较小，主要用于实践或应用学习，课程也更针对具体职业。学院课程可以提供证书 certificate (1-2年)，文凭diploma(2年)，高级文凭advanced diploma(3年)或学位degree(4年)。大学提供更大的独立的学习项目。这些项目不一定是针对职业的。你可以学习一个本科学位Undergraduate degree(3-4年)，一个研究生学位 Graduate degree(加1-2年)或博士学位Doctoral degree (加1-2年)。现如今，许多学院和大学都在合作以提供衔接课程，使学生同时获得文凭和学位。

To choose the right courses that best fit your education path, you should consider both your interest, your strengths and your goal.  If you have no ideas about your future study program or career, I usually advise my students to keep grade 12 English, one grade 12 math, 1 or 2 senior Science.  Grade 12 English is mandatory for your future College and/or University admission.  Thus, you will need to work hard on your English skills.  Math opens doors to many post-secondary programs and careers.  If you are struggling with math, you may look for advice from your school guidance counsellor to move to a different stream.   The Science course can keep your door open to most Science, Health Care and Engineering programs.  Most business programs require one a grade 12 English and a senior math credit.  In this case, you have more room for your electives.  It is never too early to investigate your education paths.  MyBlueprint is an excellent academic and career cruising tool for you to begin with.  You can also find the Program information from Ontariocolleges.ca and Ontariouniversitiesinfo.ca.  These are some of the good places for you to do your research and begin your education planning.

 要选择最适合你的升学路径的正确课程，你应该同时考虑你的兴趣、你的优势和你的目标。如果你对你未来的学习计划或职业没有想法，我通常建议我的学生保留12年级英语，12年级数学，1或2门高级科学。12年级英语是你未来学院和/或大学录取的必修课。因此，你需要努力提高你的英语技能。数学为许多高等教育项目和职业打开了大门。如果你在数学方面有困难，你可以向学校的课程指导老师（school guidance counsellor）寻求建议，转向不同的学科。科学课程可以为大多数科学、医疗保健和工程课程打开大门。大多数商业课程要求一个12年级英语和一个高级数学学分。这样的话，你的选修课就有更多的空间了。探索你的升学路径education paths越早越好。我的蓝图（MyBlueprint）是一个优秀的学术和职业生涯规划平台，可以借助这个平台开始你的升学路径规划工作。你也可以从Ontariocolleges.ca （https://www.ontariouniversitiesinfo.ca/）和 Ontariouniversitiesinfo.ca （https://www.ontariouniversitiesinfo.ca/）查询详细的项目信息。这些平台都是你做研究和开始你的升学路径规划的好地方。

To begin your course selection for 2021-2022, please contact your home school guidance counsellor to request an appointment to discuss.

 为了开始2021-2022年的课程选择，请联系你的日校课程指导顾问（home school guidance counsellor），请求预约时间进行讨论。
