French 5-7
This French course for grades 5-8 will be using the exciting AIM program developed by Wendy Maxwell. Students are expected to actively participate in a variety of individual, small group, and whole class activities including subject-related worksheets. Using AIM will create an environment where the students will: feel comfortable to express themselves in the target language from the first lesson; learn vocabulary through visual, auditory and kinesthetic tools; participate in all activities in the target language based on literature and drama; learn to think and write creatively, while practicing oral communication; and be part of a “learning community” that emphasizes cooperative learning.
This class has a capacity of 15 students and will be hosted in Surrey.

Physical and Health Education K-6
This course is an opportunity for students who school at home to interact and play with other students their age. Under the supervision and direction of a gym instructor, these students meet for one 75 minute gym class per week. This is a fantastic introduction to blended classes and a wonderful way to meet other TLA families and friends!

Physics 11
The study of Physics 11 provides students with the foundations for post-secondary physical sciences, astronomy and engineering. Topics from both classical and modern physics are covered in this lab-based survey course. These topics include motion, energy, waves, and optics. The hands on component complements the theoretical concepts covered in this course. Learning how to work collaborativly in partners and in groups on labs is an important life skill that is practiced in this course. The diversity of the material covered helps students to further their understanding of the technical world in which they live. This course best suits students with a firm understanding of mathematics.

Pre-Calculus 11
Pre-Calculus 11 prepares students to solve problems, communicate and reason mathematically, making connections between mathematics and its applications. This course prepares the student for the challenges of senior mathematics and is a prerequisite for many undergraduate studies. The course is a composite of at-home learning, in-class learning, activities and projects. Students will develop more comprehensive problem-solving abilities and will be challenged to complete multi-step solutions for those problems they are presented with. Pre-Calculus 11 is designed for students headed to college or university where a high level of mathematics is needed.

Science 7
Welcome to science 7 Blended! We are on a trip to discover more about the ancient times and animals that lived then as well as about the pressing issues of modern times such as global warming and green technologies for the future.
This course uses a variety of Gizmos, worksheets, online resources, videos, and hands-on activities. Our year consists of 4 Units each with an average of 5 classes. We will try to cover the whole curriculum so it will be video/reading homework assigned for the weeks when we are not in class.
Students can expect to participate in a variety of individual, small group, and whole-class activities including experiments, games, project-based learning, oral presentations, discussions, research, hands-on activities, textbook work, and quizzes.
Major Units & Topics
Magnetism
Alternative energy resources
Classification of matter
Chemical change
Climate change
Fossils
Natural selection
Assessment
Prerequisites
Pre-requisite skills for students who do not need EA support should include the ability to work independently for 20 minutes, read/write a paragraph, and completion of Science 6.

Science 8
Welcome to blended science 8! This year we will discover an exciting world of cells and microorganisms and understand better how our immune system works and how do we defend ourselves against viruses. We will talk about safety in the science classroom, the scientific process, electromagnetic waves and the ways they influence our world, optics, properties of matter, and the kinetic molecular theory, as well as about the history of the atomic theory. We will explore the theory of plate tectonics, and local tectonic events such as earthquakes.
