Introduction

"I am the Way, the Truth and the Life." (Jesus Christ)

The purpose of this curriculum is to outline the provincial requirements for Catholic Studies 10.

This curriculum provides the learning outcomes that students are expected to achieve in Catholic studies by the end of the year. Indicators accompany each outcome to represent the breadth and depth of what students should know and be able to do in order to achieve the learning outcomes.

Research-based content and approaches for the teaching of Catholic studies are reflected at each grade. The curriculum is responsive to the breadth of a Catholic faith which includes both Eastern and Western churches, changing demographics and educational contexts within the province.

Credit Allocations and Time Allotment

One Catholic Studies 10, 20 or 30 credit is equivalent to 100 hours of instruction.

To meet the credit requirements for graduation, students may use Catholic studies courses to fulfill the compulsory two credit requirement for the Arts Education/Practical and Applied Arts areas of study.
