Each year 112 students are admitted into the TREK Program. Students participate in two half-year terms, based at Prince of Wales Secondary School. Students must transfer to P.W. for the year. In the first term (Sept. – Jan.), 56 students will be “off-TREK”, while the other 56 will “on-TREK”. In the second term (Feb. – June), the student groups switch, thus completing both portions of the program.
During the on-TREK term, students will be involved in a combination of outdoor activities, field studies, trips, and classroom-based academics including:
- English 10 (1/2 of the course)
- Social Studies 10 (1/2 of the course)
- Planning 10 (1/2 of the course)
- P.E. 10 (complete course)
- Outdoor Education (complete course)
In the on-TREK term, approximately 1/2 of our time (47 days) will be based in the field (on trips of between 1 and 7 days), and 1/2 of our time will be based at Prince of Wales Secondary.
In the off-TREK term, students complete their academic curriculum including:
- English 10 (1/2 of the course)
- Social Studies 10 (1/2 of the course)
- Planning 10 (1/2 of the course)
- Math 10 (complete course)
- Science 10 (complete course)
- French 10 for those who have completed French 9; or Spanish 10 for those who have completed Spanish 9; or Independent Studies Course in French (1/2 course) for those who are in French Immersion or the Programme Cadre de Francais at Kits; or a Correspondence Course if none of the above apply
At the end of the year, all successful TREK students will have met the requirements for completion of Grade 10.
