Murdoch MacKay Collegiate is an academic institution in the traditional sense in that English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and Physical Education Courses are the "basics" of the curriculum. These "basics" are supplemented by courses in Business Education, Computer Sciences, Vocational, Second Language and Practical Arts.

To graduate from Murdoch MacKay, students require a minimum of 28 l/2 credits including certain "compulsory" and a side range of option" courses. Notice must be taken of the entrance requirements of Universities, Community Colleges and other Post Secondary institutions. Check with our School councilors for information.

Decisions about careers and the courses taken should be made after discussions with teachers, administrators, counsellors and parents. Aptitudes, interests and past performances on tests and exams also help to determine what courses should be selected. The counsellors at Murdoch MacKay Collegiate are available to assist students throughout the school year in this important matter.
