Grade 12 homeschool curriculum
High school diplomas and credits are set by each province and territory, and routes for homeschoolers differ. The topics here are foundational preparation only — check diploma, credit and university admission requirements for your province early.
These Grade 12 topics extend foundational senior mathematics. Learners apply differentiation rules to find stationary points and solve optimization problems, meet integration as the reverse of differentiation and as a way to find areas, and use the normal distribution and discrete random variables to reason about data and chance. A financial topic connects recurrence relations to loans and annuities. Families should check the specific requirements of their state or territory's senior courses.
These Grade 12 topics strengthen the higher-order skills that senior English courses commonly draw on: structuring comparative essays, evaluating the reasoning in arguments, responding to unseen texts and considering texts through different critical perspectives. They are general skill-building resources to support, not replace, the requirements of a learner's state or territory course.
Grade 12 science is studied as specialized subjects set by each state or territory. These foundational topics consolidate key ideas that appear across many senior courses: predicting inheritance with genetics, understanding chemical equilibrium, analyzing electric circuits, exploring organic chemistry and examining Earth's energy balance and climate. The focus is on clear reasoning, quantitative problem-solving and evaluating evidence.
