Middle School Courses & Textbooks
In Middle School, students study 9-10 subjects. In Grades 7 and 8, students have the opportunity to take an elective course. Students choose one of Drama, Mandarin, Spanish, Coding, Learning Strategies, or Visual Arts (Grade 8 Only).
Elective courses are designed to expand learning interests and provide an opportunity to explore a new subject area.
You can access the 2025-2026 Grade 7 and 8 Course Selection Form via your YorkNet account. On this form, there is a description of the courses. Elective courses consist of 5 single classes per 10-day cycle.
Please speak with your child to help them decide on an elective that best reflects their interests. Only one parent needs to complete the form for your family. The form is due April 25, 2025.
Late submissions may result in a child’s second choice. Grade 7 and 8 course electives will be communicated in the last week of August on the students’ timetable. An email will be sent to parents alerting them of the ability to download the timetable.
