This course focuses on the core principles that explain how living systems function and interact. Students examine how evolution drives both the diversity and unity of life, and how biological systems use energy and molecular building blocks to grow, reproduce, and maintain dynamic homeostasis. The course also explores how living systems store, retrieve, transmit, and…
This course explores the fundamental principles governing motion, forces, energy, and waves. Students learn how an object’s motion can be described, analyzed, and predicted, and how forces influence changes in that motion. The course also examines energy in its various forms, emphasizing conservation and its ability to do work. In addition, students study mechanical waves…
This course focuses on the fundamental ideas that shape ecological and environmental systems. Students examine how energy transfer and conversion underlie all ecological processes and how Earth functions as one interconnected system whose natural and biogeochemical processes change over time and space and vary in their ability to recover from disturbances. The course also explores…
Chemistry 11 examines how elements and compounds are measured, observed, quantified, and transformed. Areas of study include atoms and molecules, matter and energy, the mole, solubility and organic chemistry. The course emphasizes laboratory-based learning, where students develop skills in experimental design, laboratory techniques, data and error analysis, conceptual modelling, and scientific communication. Much of the…
Metamorphosis 9 is an innovative Grade 9 program that combines three courses: Science 9, Social Studies 9, and Applied Design, Skills and Technology 9. The integrated nature of the course includes mini-lectures, labs, assignments, project-based activities, simulations, design challenges, field trips and much more. Students have the opportunity to work in several settings and are…
Do the unknown frontiers of the deep and its ecosystems keep you up at night? Do you marvel at the majesty of the ocean’s creatures and their abilities to live and thrive in a myriad of habitats? Our Brentwood campus lies adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and this opens up incredible opportunities to explore the…
The main units of the course include: Reaction Kinetics, Dynamic Equilibrium, Solubility, Acids & Bases, and Electrochemistry. If there was one course in all of the senior high school curricula that teach a student concepts and knowledge they cannot easily get anywhere else, including from textbooks, it would be Chemistry 12. This course demands a…
The main ideas covered in this course include: Measurement of motion depends on our frame of reference. Forces can cause linear and circular motion. Forces and energy interactions occur within fields. Momentum is conserved within a closed and isolated system. This course builds on ideas and skills developed in Physics 11, and topics covered in…
