Science 11
In Grade 11, Science becomes more specialized, giving students the opportunity to explore areas that align with their interests and future goals. Each option builds on the foundational skills developed in earlier grades such as scientific inquiry, lab work, and critical thinking. Some courses are designed with academic pathways in mind, while others focus more on real-world applications and science literacy. Science 11 helps students better understand the world around them and equips them with the tools to ask meaningful questions, analyze information, and make informed decisions.
