EVALUATION, ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING
CONTINUED
The Leonard Wilde Award, named after the founder of the College, is awarded to the student who has contributed the most to the life and spirit of NJC and who reflects the academic and international objectives established by Mr. Wilde. The winner of this highest award is selected by faculty and students.
Students graduating with an overall average of 80% or higher in six Grade 12 courses are nominated for the Ontario Scholar Award.
School awards are given to students for superior performance in particular subject areas as well as for extracurricular activities. These include athletic, valedictorian, and other awards throughout all academic disciplines.
Prerequisites are listed for students coming from an Ontario high school. Students coming from other systems of education should ensure that they have an equivalent background by contacting the Director of Admission. In accordance with the Ministry of Education, the final grade in all courses taken at the College must appear on the Ontario Student Transcript.
Instruction in foreign languages is strongly encouraged by the College, in part because Switzerland has a number of national languages (German, French, Italian, and Romansh), and in part because the value of knowing two or more languages is becoming more evident in our increasingly international world.
The following courses are normally offered subject to adequate demand and may vary between semesters.
All Grade 12 courses are offered at the University Preparation level. Course codes ending with ‘4U’ indicate University Preparation level; course codes ending with ‘4M’ indicate University/College Preparation level. The first three letters of the course code indicate the particular course.
Detailed course outlines for each course offered at NJC are available to students and parents from the Swiss office. Please contact the Director of Admission if you have specific questions.
All course descriptions are taken from current Ontario Curriculum Policy Documents.
