Colleges and universities require English 12, for the most part.

You can apply for post-secondary (college, university) with English 12.

 

post-secondary – college, university

secondary- high school

 

All post-secondary programs will have their own entry requirements.

 

Do you have some ideas what you want to do after high school?

If you have ambitions to to go to college or university, you can start planning now.

 

You can start to research what prerequisites your postsec requires.

 

college- offers programs, certificates, often 1-2 yrs

university- offers degrees, often 3-4 years

 

What kind of job do you want?

BASIC QUESTIONS I ASKED MY CHILDREN

Do you want to stand up or sit down?

Do you want to work indoors or outdoors?

Do you want to interact with people or be on your own?
