Recommended high school courses

Students in GBDA benefit from taking a variety of courses in high school. Classes in business studies, technology, and the arts provide helpful background knowledge for GBDA. However, we don't recommend specific courses or course codes since every high school offers different options.

General requirements

  • High school diploma with six Grade 12 academic courses.
  • With the exception of Economics 12 and Financial Accounting 12, subjects from the Applied Design, Skills and Technology (ADST) curriculum do not count toward the six academic courses required for admission.
  • When it becomes available, upload a transcript with your second semester mid-term marks as soon as possible. While BC will automatically send your marks electronically, they will not arrive in time for you to be considered for admission.

Notes

You need to provide an English language test score if your four most recent years of full-time education have not been in an English language school system.
