Just to keep things simple, we encourage students to take a full year of Fine Arts (Drama, Dance, Music, or Visual Arts) in gr.8, and a full year of Applied Skills (Textiles, Infotech, Foods, Tech Ed, or Business Ed) in gr.9. Bottom line: they must have each between the beginning of gr.8 and the end of gr.9. Books will depend on course selections.
