Computer Programming 11
In this introductory online programming course, students will use Unity to learn the fundamentals of programming in the context of creating their own projects. During the course, they will use the Unity and Visual Studio software development kit and integrated development environment in conjunction with the video-course to create several prototypes along with the instructor, and learn to manage a larger personal project more independently. The skills that they learn will align with the learning objectives from the Unity Certified User exam, providing them with a foundational understanding of Unity and C# programming, preparing them for certification. In addition to these core technical competencies, students will learn how to manage a project from start to finish: coming up with a concept, creating a project plan, prioritizing tasks, and hitting milestones. By the end of the course, students will have the confidence that, given enough time and resources, they can create anything they want with Unity and C#. This Unity-produced video-based course will be run as a “flipped class”-style online course in which students will be expected to regularly participate in online forums and bi-weekly video-conference class meetings. A reasonably powerful computer will be needed to run the Unity editor and development environment.

Peer Tutoring 11
This course is a combination of research, self-reflection, tutoring and applying what you have learned.
Teaching and tutoring are not methods to give students answers, but to help them understand the process of learning. For example, if you give a child a cookie – do they know how to make cookies? No, but if you teach them how to make cookies, they will then make their own cookies and eventually will have the confidence to make something different – they may eventually make their own recipes and become a chef! But, that will not happen if you only give them cookies – or answers.

Social Studies 8
Social Studies 8 is a study of world history from the years 800-1750. The topics will cover events from the Crusades through the Renaissance and The Age of Enlightenment through the Reformation. The course will include perspectives of: history, commerce/industry, culture, politics/wars, science and faith, (world views).
This world history course will cover the major topics in and around Europe from a Biblical-Christian perspective. This long stretch of time and the massive amount of information will not allow us to cover this time period by looking at all the continents and what was happening during this time period. Nor, will it allow for many of the different perspectives of history; who and how it was written, commerce/industry, culture, politics/wars, science and faith (world views). Some of the lessons will cover these areas in general, or for example, a student may choose to go into depth about a particular topic covering transportation and commerce during a particular time period.
Students will make connections from the past to present day. The decisions they make in light of the information they are willing to search out, analyse and interpret will reflect on how they think and eventually act.

Social Studies 9
Composed of 11 units, Social Studies 9 Online is a study of world history covering selected events from 1750-1919. Our studies for this period begin at the height of colonialism, and will continue with slavery, revolutions, civil war, events around Canada becoming a nation, and a brief look at communism and World War 1. The course will focus on revolution, conflict and change through the lens of historical narratives and the human experience, and will particularly consider the effects of assumptions about other people groups. There will be additional focus on attitudes, viewpoints, and experiences of participants on both sides of historical events as well as human choice, the impact of ideologies, and power dynamics. Instruction will not be explicitly from a Christian worldview, but we will be examining things in a philosophical/psychological light which will include ethics and critical thinking, and may at times touch on religious worldviews.
