eLearning Courses
Are only available if the course is NOT offered at
our school
OR
If a required course cannot be timetabled.
All courses are subject to the Principal’s
approval.
Please see your counselor for more information
and the course calendar for a complete listing of
eLearning courses offered.
CHOOSE WISELY
• Course selection requires time!! (You have much
more time this year than last year!!!)
• Not every course is available in every period so it
may not be possible to schedule all of your
choices
• The school timetable is built based on student
selections—the ones that you are making now.
• Timetable changes (and, in particular, level
changes) are very difficult to make once the
timetable has been set.
Each Subject Area in the
Course Book contains
flow charts like this one.
Each course offered at
Canterbury is identified and
described in the Course
Book.
WEB BASED COURSE SELECTION
• You will make your course selections online.
• We are using Career Planner by Career Cruising
• See the tutorial at
https://www.careercruising.com/home/CPVideo.
