Board/Authority Authorized Courses - BAA
The Grade 10–12 provincial curriculum gives teachers significant flexibility to
customize course content. Before developing a new BAA course, please explore
the curriculum list of courses to determine if there is a Ministry-developed course
in the desired subject area.
BAA courses are typically offered as electives. In order to count for credit toward the provincial graduation program, a BAA course must meet requirements set by the Ministry of Education, as outlined in the Board Authorized Course Order, and be approved by a school board.
There is no limit to the number of Board/Authority Authorized Courses that may be used for the 28 credits of electives needed to fulfill graduation requirements. Grade 12 level Board/Authority Authorized Courses may count towards Grade 12 credits required for graduation.
