Noting that parents are vital partners in the educational system, this handbook provides parents with information about the senior high school (grades 10-12) curriculum in Catholic Schools in Alberta, Canada. Based on the Alberta Learning "Programs of Study: Senior High School," the handbook describes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes Catholic school students in Alberta are expected to demonstrate upon completion of the high school curriculum. Following introductory material that includes information on Aboriginal education, supports for learning, and assessment, the handbook's sections are: (1) "Overview of Senior High School"; (2) "Religious Education; (3) "English Language Arts"; (4) "Mathematics"; (5) "Science"; (6) "Social Studies"; (7) "Information and Communication Technology"; (8) "Career and Life Management"; (9) "Physical Education"; and (10) optional courses in Career and Technology Studies, Fine Arts, Physical Education, and Languages Other Than English; the optional courses section also covers off-campus education and educational experiences outside of regular school programs. Sections on transitions from senior high school into work and further learning, and post-secondary education are included. Each section includes samples of what students are expected to learn in each subject. The handbook concludes with answers to frequently asked questions and a one-page questionnaire requesting feedback on the handbook. (HTH)
