4 Whether it s preparing to enter the work force immediately after secondary school, or pursuing a higher level of education, our enhanced programs are designed to assist students in developing an approach to their career pathways and life goals. We ve developed these programs in order to meet the needs of students who have specific interests outside the standard high school programs and elective areas in our secondary schools. Through flexible pathways that include project-based activities, work experience, and distributed (online) learning we offer personalized, authentic learning experiences for every student.

5 Advanced Placement (AP) Program at Argyle Secondary and Handsworth Secondary Students enrolled in Advanced Placement courses get a feel for the rigors of college/university level studies within the support of a high school environment. Students taking AP courses demonstrate to post secondary admissions officers that they have sought out an educational experience that will prepare them for success at college/ university and beyond. Each AP course concludes with a college/university level exam developed and scored by post secondary faculty and experienced AP teachers. The exception to these exams is within the Studio Art stream, which requires the submission of a portfolio of their work. The AP organization charges a fee of $105.00, to be paid by the student, for each exam. Students who are successful in AP courses can potentially earn an extra 4 credits towards their transcript and may be able to enrol directly into the second year course at the post secondary institution they attend, subject to the policies of that institution.
