Critical Thinking & Fine Arts 8 Challenge Studio
In Critical Thinking & Fine Arts 8, students will closely examine the self, community, and world around them, and engage in meaningful discussion and exploration. Students will express their ideas through various art forms, first conceptualizing a design, then considering the steps of turning the vision into reality, and finally bringing their vision to life. Aspects of fine arts, which may include art, drama, photography, film, and stop animation will be integrated with the critical thinking aspects of this course. Specific critical thinking topics may include philosophy, logic, puzzles, and the validity of information.
Inquiry & Innovation 9 Challenge Studio
Students are given the opportunity to explore areas of passion through inquiry-based learning, fostering an attitude of creativity, curiosity, and independence. They are encouraged to also identify an area of need within our community and then propose and plan innovative realistic solutions to hopefully make a difference in the lives of an individual, a group, or a community. Through this approach, students will develop skills that will prepare them for the future.
Career Life Connections 12 Challenge Studio
This course is required by the BC Ministry of Education for graduation. With the help of mentors, students reflect on their knowledge, competencies, and passions. As they explore themselves and their life journey, they refine their graduation plans and career-life goals. Their findings culminate in a capstone project.
