Attention: Prospective Students & Families
Apex Academy Online is a fully asynchronous, online school which means that interested students may enroll any day of the year. Please ignore any start dates listed for our courses, they are a mandatory setting by Amilia. We do not have semesters or terms like a traditional high school. Registration is always open!
This course emphasizes the development of literacy, communication, and critical and creative thinking skills necessary for success in academic and daily life. Students will analyse challenging literary texts from various periods, countries, and cultures, as well as a range of informational and graphic texts, and create oral, written, and media texts in a variety of forms. An important focus will be on using language with precision and clarity and incorporating stylistic devices appropriately and effectively. The course is intended to prepare students for the compulsory Grade 12 university or college preparation course.
