Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service on the York Region District School Board's website is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The York Region District School Board does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the Board encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The York Region District School Board is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.

Page Content Thornlea's History Department is proud to offer a U-Level, Advanced Placement course in Gr. 12:
CHY4UE: World History since the Fifteenth Century - Advanced Placement
This course traces major developments and events in world history since approximately 1450. Students will explore social, economic, and political changes, the historical roots of contemporary issues, and the role of conflict and cooperation in global interrelationships. They will extend their ability to apply the concepts of historical thinking and the historical inquiry process, including the interpretation and analysis of evidence, as they investigate key issues and assess societal progress or decline in world history.
In addition to the content outlined above, a variety of enrichment opportunities will serve as preparation for students who wish to take the external Advanced Placement exam in May. The enrichment activities will further reinforce, improve and solidify the skills of critical thinking, inquiry, communication and the application of concepts. Thornlea S.S. evaluation for the course will be strictly based on the curriculum expectations established by the Ontario Ministry of Education. |
