Course Selection

Students who have not completed grade 10 English, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science, Art, Foods, Physical Education and Planning are required to take these courses first. Exceptions may be made for older students, who may complete only English, Math, Social Studies and Science at the grade 10 level.

Since Purpose is a relatively small school, many electives available in larger schools cannot be offered. Students may wish to take additional electives through correspondence (a charge of $250.00 per course applies).
