CHC2P, Canadian History since World War I, Grade 10, Applied

CHC2P, Canadian History since World War I (Applied), explores Canada from 1914 to the present with a practical, accessible focus — everyday life, communities, and the events that shaped modern Canada. Students build historical-thinking skills through sources, projects, and applied tasks rather than heavy essay writing.

Yes. CHC2P fully satisfies the compulsory Grade 10 Canadian history credit required for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma — the same requirement CHC2D meets. Either course works for graduation; they differ in approach, not in the credit granted.

CHC2P meets the Ministry of Education’s attendance and participation expectations through activities blended directly into the course. OES requires students to log in at least once per week for attendance, and participation activities appear throughout the course and are reflected in the grade book — preserving self-paced flexibility while satisfying the requirements for online courses.

CHC2P (Applied) takes a hands-on, accessible approach with more applied activities, while CHC2D (Academic) goes deeper into analysis and formal writing. Both cover Canada since 1914 and both satisfy the compulsory credit. Note that CLU3M and CHW3M in Grade 11 accept either as the prerequisite.

CHC2P covers Canada from the First World War to today: both World Wars, the Depression, social and technological change, immigration and communities, Indigenous experiences, and Canada’s role in the world — approached through sources, media, and applied projects that connect history to everyday life.

Yes. CHC2P satisfies the same compulsory credit and the same Grade 11 prerequisites (CLU3M, CHW3M) as CHC2D. Your history course type doesn’t lock your pathway — senior course choices in English, math, and science matter far more for university eligibility.

Yes. Many students take one or two OES courses alongside their regular day school to free up a timetable, resolve a conflict, or work ahead. OES notifies your day school and your CHC2P mark is added to your Ontario Student Transcript. The course is self-paced with year-round registration, so it fits around your existing schedule.

Yes. Ontario students who started Grade 9 in the 2020–21 school year or later must earn at least two online learning credits to graduate, and CHC2P at OES — a Ministry-inspected online school (BSID #667186) — counts toward that requirement. An opt-out process exists through school boards, and specific provisions apply to students affected by the 2021 school closures.

Ontario’s Growing Success policy pre-determines the evaluation structure for every credit. Beginning in the 2026–27 school year, CHC2P is graded on classroom work completed throughout the course (65%) plus a Ministry-mandated final evaluation worth 20% for Grades 9–10, with attendance and participation also reflected in the final grade. A credit is granted at 50% or higher — and as an inspected private school, OES may administer final evaluations online, while school-board online courses generally require in-person exam sittings.
