Please note: All Computer Science Ministry of Education Courses may not all be available at Milliken Mills each year. Course offerings vary based on student interest and student course selections made during our annual course selection process each February for the following year. To access courses not currently available please discuss with our Guidance Department.
IB Students:
It should be noted that IB (International Baccalaureate®) Students only have elective credit choices in Grade 9 and 10. Should an IB Student wish to take Computer Science, they are entitled to do so, but must do so in Grade 9 and/or 10. There is no pre-requisite for ICS2O1 or ICS3U, and as such, these courses may be taken by any student in any grade. Should an IB student with an aptitude for Computer Science wish; they may take ICS2O and/or ICS3U in their Grade 9 year and take the ICS4U in Grade 10 (and ICS4U requires ICS3U as a pre-requisite). Should the student already possess a programming background, it may be prudent to start directly with ICS3U.
"The ability to Code, the ability to understand and provide instruction to a computer to make it solve a problem for oneself without relying on the existence of pre-written code (software) already existing, is a skill that everyone will need to be successful in their own pursuits in their future."
