Within the Enhanced Learning Model courses, students and teachers will interact with the course material and all assignments and assessments will be accessed and submitted via Hapara's Workspaces. In order to gain access to the course materials, you will need to be registered in a course or class through your school so that you can have the Workspace for the course shared with you. If you have questions about this process, please arrange a time to talk with your school principal.
Overview of the ELM
Each section below details the High School courses available in the Enhanced Learning Model (ELM) with a brief description and link to the course overview using the orange button. Access to the actual courses is provided after the students are enrolled in Hapara and their teachers can then release course content, assignments and assessments on a group or individual student basis utilizing Google Drive and Hapara.
Important First Step!
Teachers and School Administrators wanting to implement the ELM within their school subjects or program should first review the Implementation Guide that includes instructions and video support.
Enhanced Learning Model Courses by Subject
Sciences
Science 10
Science 10 is an integrated academic course designed to help you better understand and apply the concepts and skills common to biology, chemistry, and physics. In addition, Science 10 focuses on the interaction between science, technology and society. It maintains continuity with the Middle School Science Program and students can continue to pursue a general science route or branch into more specific areas in science. Upon passing Science 10, students can enroll in Biology 20, Chemistry 20, Physics 20 and/or Science 20.

|
|
Math 30-2
|
Math 31
|
|
The purpose of the Math 30 – 2 program is to further investigate the fields of relations and functions, logic and reasoning and probability. Students will achieve this through development of algebraic and graphical reasoning, logical reasoning, and critical thinking skills related to uncertainty. Students should be prepared for university level non – calculus mathematics classes at the conclusion of this course.
|
The Mathematics 31 course introduces students to the mathematical methods of calculus. The course provides some of the requirements of the mathematics encountered in post-secondary programs. It builds on existing skills in working with functions and expands this knowledge to include a study of limits in preparation for a study of differential and integral calculus. The methods of calculus you will learn are applied to problems encountered in the areas of science, engineering, business and other fields.
