Computer Information Systems & Game Design
Program Description
1 Year Program
The Computer Information Systems & Game Design program prepares students for careers and post-secondary education in computer science, software development, and game design through a combination of classroom instruction and project-based learning. Students develop programming, computational thinking, and problem-solving skills while creating games, websites, and software applications. The curriculum emphasizes core programming concepts, coding logic, software design, debugging, game development, website development, and creative project design rather than focusing on a single programming language or platform. Students gain hands-on experience by completing real-world projects that build technical knowledge and a professional portfolio. Performance is evaluated through programming assignments, project completion, technical accuracy, creativity, collaboration, attendance, and employability skills. The program encourages critical thinking, adaptability, and independent learning while preparing students for the rapidly evolving technology industry. Students develop technical expertise, analytical thinking, communication, teamwork, time management, and problem-solving abilities that support success in college and technology careers. Throughout the program, students build a strong foundation for continued education and employment in software development, game design, information technology, computer programming, and related technology fields.

Message from the Principal
[PLACEHOLDER CONTENT] I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success. We are committed to providing a nurturing and challenging learning environment, and your active participation in your child's education plays a vital role.
Here are a few tips to help your child achieve their full potential:
- Establish a consistent homework routine: Designate a quiet, well-lit space for homework and set a regular time for its completion.
- Encourage reading: Read with your child daily, even for just 15-20 minutes. This helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and a love of reading.
- Limit screen time: Set reasonable limits on television, video games, and other electronic devices, especially during study time.
- Celebrate effort and progress: Focus on your child's hard work and improvement, rather than just grades.
- Ensure adequate sleep and nutrition: A well-rested and nourished child is better able to focus and learn.
- Communicate with the teacher: Use ParentSquare to stay in regular contact with your child's teacher to discuss their progress, address any concerns, and collaborate on strategies to support their learning.
We believe that by working together, we can create a strong foundation for your child's academic and personal growth. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school office if you have any questions or need additional support.
Warm regards,
[Principal's Name]
