Curriculum Handbook for Parents, 2000-2001: Catholic School Version, Senior High School.
Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton.
This handbook provides parents with information about the high school curriculum in Catholic schools in Alberta, Canada. Based on the Alberta Learning "Program of Studies: Senior High School," the handbook describes the knowledge, skills, and attitudes Catholic school students in Alberta are expected to demonstrate upon completion of high school. Following introductory material, the handbook provides a program overview, including diploma requirements, a program planner, descriptions of adjunct programs such as immersion/bilingual programs, off-campus education, a registered apprenticeship program, and distance learning. The handbook then discusses religious education and describes the required high school core courses: English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Career and Life Management 20, Physical Education 10, and Information and Communication Technology. In addition, the handbook presents information on optional courses in Career and Technology Studies, Fine and Performing Arts, Physical Education 20-30, and Second Languages programs. The handbook concludes with frequently asked questions and a one-page questionnaire requesting feedback on the handbook. (KB)
