CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES
* Enriched (AP and Pre-AP) Courses: These are available for Grades 9, 10, 11, and 12 in many subjects. These courses offer a more rigorous programme than Academic courses and will prepare students to write AP exams in those subjects. Only students with 80-85% or higher in the prerequisite course may enrol in Enriched courses.
Brebeuf offers the following Pre-AP and AP courses: English (9,10,11,12), math (9, 10,11), science (9,10), biology (11), chemistry (11), physics (11) and calculus (11, 12).
* Course Accommodations: Gifted students can have regular courses modified, in consultation with teachers and parents, to allow for more challenging, accelerated, and interesting material.
* Independent Study: Students may take courses not offered at Brebeuf through the Independent Learning Centre or through TCDSB e-class.
* International Exchanges: These are available during summers and the school year in France, Italy, Ireland, Scotland, England, and many other countries.
* Advanced Placement Exams: AP Exams allow students to work at a University level while still in high school. Students who earn qualifying grades on AP Exams are then given credits or advanced placement at thousands of universities worldwide. Any student can write an AP exam. See www.ap.ca for exam information. Students sit the examinations at Brebeuf in May.
* PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment): Students can earn credits if they can show that they have mastered the material for a course through previous learning. See Ministry of Education for more information.
