6 GENERAL INFORMATION OUR VISION We are an intercultural community of learners that values diversity and collaboration. We are committed to building knowledge, developing responsible attitudes, and demonstrating competencies for life in a complex and changing world. LITERACY AND LEARNING AT FOREST LAWN Forest Lawn High School s teachers emphasize literacy and learning strategies to open the door of opportunity for our students. They explain why a strategy is used, how it is used, and when it can be used. Teachers model the strategy and ask students to reflect on their learning so that they can make informed choices about how they learn best. Teachers, regardless of subject area, also use their curriculum to help students improve their reading, writing, and comprehension skills. We hope to increase our students chances of success well beyond graduation. INTRODUCTION This guide provides the information to current and prospective students (and their parents) to help them make the best possible program choices to be successful in high school and beyond. Forest Lawn High School provides a full complement of core and complementary courses that will provide all of our graduates with the necessary knowledge, skills and attributes to be successful beyond high school.

7 COURSE CREDITS In all courses the minimum mark for receiving credits is 50%. Students must also receive 50% in order to take the next course in the subject sequence, or achieve the percentage recommended by the specific course sequence. Credits may be obtained for any course only once. Students who receive credits for a course and repeat the course in order to improve their grades do not receive credits a second time. Each course is assigned a credit value determined by the number of hours of instruction during the year. A 3- credit half course is 75 hours while a 5-credit full course is 125 hours. In CTS courses, each module is approximately 25 hours, and one credit is earned for a completed module. A student must achieve a mark of 50% in a course to receive credits. Students should plan for a full schedule of courses with at least: 40 credits in Grade credits in Grade credits in Grade 12 During three years of high school, students are expected to acquire 100 credits for graduation and to receive a Alberta High School Diploma. PROVINCIAL EXAMS Any student enrolled in English 30-1, 30-2, Mathematics 30A, 30P, Social Studies 30-1, 30-2, Science 30, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, or Physics 30, must write a Provincial Diploma Examination. The final mark will be an average of your school mark (50%) and your exam mark (50%). SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL COURSES FOR JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS Where senior high school courses are offered at the junior high school level, the planning for such courses should be based on collaboration between junior high schools and senior high schools (pg 114, Guide to Education, Alberta Education, Sept 2006). Forest Lawn will not grant credits for said courses unless an agreement has been reached with junior high schools prior to entry into Grade 10. KNOWLEDGE AND EMPLOYABILITY COURSES (K AND E) Students who have been in the Knowledge and Employability Courses (K and E) in junior high will have the opportunity to take K and E courses in English, Social Studies, Science and Math. The content emphasis is on basic skills essential to becoming responsible members of society with the focus on reading, writing and mathematical literacy as well as essential employability skills. It should be noted that these students will receive a Certificate of High School Achievement, which is based on 80 Required Credits, rather than a high school diploma which is based on 100 required credits. Students will have been given the opportunity to achieve success with experiential, real life applications in their academic courses and will be prepared to enter the workforce upon completion of high school. Students will be able to move into the regular high school academic program if they achieve 80% or higher marks in the appropriate K and E courses. A provincial Certificate of High School Achievement, based on 80 required credits, will be awarded to a student upon successful completion of the Senior High Knowledge and Employability Courses. Below is a sample program.

13 SPECIALIZED COURSES ADVANCED PLACEMENT (AP) PROGRAM Advanced Placement is an enriched program designed for academic students. AP courses offer rigour and challenge in addition to the Alberta Program of Studies. The goal of our Advanced Placement program is to stimulate and enrich student learning beyond a regular classroom setting. Advanced Placement was originally created by the College Board in the United States and has found widespread acceptance in Canada. The program offers flexibility. Students may choose to take one or several AP courses to prepare them for university-level work. Many students say that taking an AP course can ease the transition into post-secondary. Students learn surrounded by peers passionate about a particular subject; this fosters an atmosphere of cooperation and collaboration. AP courses can open doors in the post-secondary world. Although each school varies, many Canadian and American universities offer academic credit, advanced placement or both to students who take the AP exam and perform to a certain standard. Students can choose to write the optional AP Exam at the end of the course. All AP students in Grade 12 must write the Alberta Education Diploma Exam. Forest Lawn is offering AP courses beginning at the grade 10 level in Math, English, Science, Social Studies and Art, and, as enrolment permits, AP courses in Chemistry and Biology beginning at the grade 11 level. Please see the individual departments pages to learn more about each AP course offering. For more information, contact the school. Registration Guide Page 8 Forest Lawn High School
