Our courses use a 5 character code for identification, which are set out by the Ministry of Education.

Example: SCH 4U

G = Guidance & Career Education
H = Humanities & Social Sciences
I = Interdisciplinary Studies
L = International Languages

T = Technology

The number, SCH 4U, indicates the grade level.
