The study of physics aims to understand the universe around us. Why do things work the way they work? Physics 11 studies a variety of topics ranging from kinematics to Newton’s laws of motion, waves and sound, and electric circuits.Â
When we study physics, we want to find out how the world around us works. This includes the smallest electrons and the largest stars. In Physics 12, students will be studying several topics from Physics 11 in more detail, and you will also be working on many new topics with magnetism, including electromagnetic induction.
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs that require the study of theoretical calculus. Topics include quadratics, financial literacy, linear and quadratic inequalities, rational and radical equations, and trigonometry.
Pre-Calc 12 is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into post-secondary programs requiring theoretical calculus. Topics include transformations and a wide variety of functions ranging from polynomials to rational functions.
In Science 10, students learn about DNA and heredity, chemical concepts such as acids and bases and energy changes, how energy transformation fuels our world, and the Big Bang theory of universe formation.
In Science 9, students learn about reproduction (asexual and sexual), basics of chemistry like naming and compounds, dive into the math behind electric circuits and finally learn about sustainability and matter and energy cycles.
Social Studies 10 focuses on the growth of Canada from colony to nationhood from 1815 to 1914. Various themes are revisited throughout the course, including immigration and the face of Canada’s cultural mosaic, the use of art as a reflection of history, the changing nature of democracy and the role of the First Nations in Canada’s development. Themes from the past are linked to current issues and events whenever possible. As a multidisciplinary subject, Social Studies draws from the social sciences and humanities to study human interaction and natural and social environments. Students should develop into thoughtful, responsible citizens able to consider multiple perspectives and defend a position. Whereas the BC Social Studies 10 curriculum provides students with opportunities to critically reflect upon events and issues in order to examine the past and make connections, instruction at West Coast Adventist School will focus on issues of social justice and resource management from a Christian perspective.
Social Studies 9 focuses on how empires and revolutions changed societies worldwide. Grade 9 Social Studies covers the period from 1750 to 1919. Students will explore big themes such as conflict, political, social and technological revolution, nationalism, colonialism and imperialism and the impact of these forces on indigenous people in Canada and worldwide. At the end of this course, students will be well equipped to use evidence to determine significance, cause and consequence, continuity and change, perspective, and ethical judgements.
This course is for students with basic background knowledge of Spanish. Emphasis is placed on vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation of the Spanish language. Students will learn to use their new language, such as talking about hobbies and the weather, visiting new places, shopping and ordering food.
This course builds on Italian 10 and further develops listening, writing, reading and speaking skills, emphasizing communicative competence. Language structures and vocabulary are taught through topics such as daily routine, special celebrations, and professions.
This course builds on Spanish 11 and further develops listening, writing, reading and speaking skills, emphasizing communicative competence. Language structures and vocabulary are reviewed as the student is exposed to more complex grammar, vocabulary and reading selections.
This pathway is designed to provide students with the mathematical understandings and critical-thinking skills identified for entry into trades and direct entry into the workforce. Topics include comparisons of the imperial and metric systems of measurement, understanding and using the Pythagorean theorem, understanding primary trigonometric ratios, types of graphs, surface area and volume, central tendency, and gross and net pay.
In Workplace Math 11, students study various topics, including slope, budgeting and financial literacy and 2D representations of 3D objects, and graph interpretation.
In this course, students will complete three modules. In the first module, students will learn about Computers and Communications Devices through various projects and assignments on hardware, software, operating system shortcuts, command line operations, preventative maintenance, security risks, troubleshooting, and the evolution of technology. In the second module on Computational Thinking, students will complete the Computer Science Discoveries course from code.org, where they will create, build, design, and problem-solve as they learn how to code. Finally, in the third module, students will become more versed in Digital Literacy by completing projects and assignments on internet safety, looking at their digital footprint, researching ethical issues surrounding computer use, and learning how to identify and prevent cyberbullying.
Bible class, as we call it, is more than a time for reading, discussing, thinking or debating. We have the privilege of allotting time daily for study and reflection so that we who seek God may grow to know and love Him and His ways more with each passing moment and so that we can better understand His intent and desire for our lives that is, His desire to live His holy life through us!

Studying psychology serves to develop a greater understanding of human development and behaviour. Students who acquire sensitivity to multiple perspectives can make reasoned judgments about the relative merits of their own behaviour, as well as the behaviour of others. Psychology 11 will introduce students to psychology and its links to developmental stages and the breadth of areas included in psychology, from learning about stress to helping students understand some career options related to psychology.
