Currently teaching

The classroom keeps the rest of the work honest. This term's course outlines are published in full.

MCR3U Semester 1 · 2026-2027 Functions · Grade 11, University Preparation The Grade 11 university-preparation functions course: the year students stop working with one equation at a time and start working with the object that produces them. Planned end to end before the first class, so every unit knows how many days it has. Read the course outline → CIA4U Semester 1 · 2026-2027 Analysing Current Economic Issues · Grade 12, University Preparation Grade 12 economics, taught as inquiry: take a live Canadian issue — a tariff, a pipeline, a minimum-wage change — and work out what the economics actually says about it. Every class is paired with a short explainer and a current news story to argue with. Read the course outline → CIE3M Semester 1 · 2026-2027 The Individual and the Economy · Grade 11, University/College Preparation Grade 11 economics, built around the decisions a person actually makes: what is scarce, what it costs to choose, how a market settles on a price, and what to do with an income once there is one. Every class is paired with a short explainer and a Canadian news story from this year. Read the course outline →
