British Columbia

B.C.'s curriculum is set by the Ministry of Education and Child Care. For every subject and grade it describes Big Ideas (what students understand), Curricular Competencies (what they can do) and Content (what they know), along with Core Competencies in communication, thinking and personal and social skills. Grades 10 to 12 form the Graduation Program: students earn at least 80 credits, including required courses, and write provincial literacy and numeracy assessments to receive the Dogwood Diploma.
