Grade 11 curriculum

Learn it. Try it. Share it.

Choose a principle, school grade or study path. These are suggested learning plans; adapt them with a teacher or trusted adult.

Learn to understand, create, care and contribute.

A proposed learning framework, not an accredited curriculum. K–12 labels are used for convenience; adapt to local standards, language, readiness and learner needs. The principles express values, not scientific measurements.

Grade 11: Specialise while keeping a broad civic foundation.

Starting point: Select advanced courses only after prerequisites; retain humanities and arts alongside technical study.

Language & communication

Explore details

Study advanced composition, literature and argument; evaluate scholarly and public writing. Produce a substantial research paper and a clear non-specialist summary.

Mathematics & data

Explore details

Take Algebra II, statistics or an appropriate integrated sequence; add precalculus when ready. Study functions, probability and modelling with sensitivity to assumptions.

Science & environment

Explore details

Study physics or another advanced laboratory science: measurement, forces, energy and systems. Design a supervised investigation and analyse error; specialised routes may add biology or chemistry.

Society, history & ethics

Explore details

Study government, economics, ethics and contemporary history. Evaluate a policy with distributional effects, uncertainty and competing values stated explicitly.

Arts, culture & architecture

Explore details

Build a deeper creative or design portfolio. Study urban form, housing, heritage or cultural production through a case study and an original response.

Computing & design

Explore details

Create a software, data or engineering project with tests, documentation and an accessibility review. Evaluate AI reliability, privacy, energy use and human oversight.

Wellbeing, reflection & practical life

Explore details

Explore employment and study pathways, scholarships and apprenticeship options. Compare hypothetical loan terms and total costs; practise interviews, consent and workload planning.

Four-term project sequence

Illustrative nine-week terms. Teach the subject foundations alongside each project; use the teaching guide to adapt pacing.

TERM 1 · WEEKS 1–9

Question selection

Write a feasible research or design proposal with a mentor.

TERM 2 · WEEKS 10–18

Methods & evidence

Pilot the method and report problems before scaling.

TERM 3 · WEEKS 19–27

Field experience

Complete a supervised placement, interview series or equivalent local project.

TERM 4 · WEEKS 28–36

Proposal defence

Present findings, costs, ethical considerations and a Grade 12 plan.

End-of-year demonstrations

  • Evaluate a claim quantitatively and describe uncertainty.
  • Present a feasible capstone proposal with prerequisites, permissions and a realistic schedule.

These are example demonstrations, not the complete legal requirements for grade promotion.

Teaching rhythm, assessment & adaptation

Suggested rhythm

Suggested 30 planned hours weekly: language/humanities 6; mathematics 4; laboratory science 4; civics/economics/ethics 3; arts/design 3; computing or technical elective 3; health/practical life 2; mentored project 5. Adapt to local course credits, placements and learner needs; do not simply add this to a full existing timetable.

Check learning

Assess disciplinary knowledge, independent work, evidence quality, revision and communication. Use oral defence to verify understanding. Maintain a portfolio and disclose tools, collaboration and AI assistance.

Support and extend

Offer academic, applied and vocational projects of comparable intellectual value. Provide accessible assessments and realistic alternatives to unpaid placements, equipment purchases or travel.

New here? What the labels mean

Reported fact

A number from a named source. Check when, where and what it measures.

Model or score

A way to compare things using chosen rules. Different rules can give different scores.

Future goal or scenario

Something we hope to achieve, or imagine might happen. It is not a measured fact.

Milestone
An important step toward a goal.
Indicator
A measurement that helps us understand something.
Dependency
Something that may need help from something else.
Biodiversity
The variety of living things.
GW
Gigawatts: a unit of power. Capacity is what equipment can produce at its rated output.
