Computer Science

FRC boasts one of the biggest high school computer science programs in Manitoba to date. We offer 20S, 30S, and 40S or 42S courses.

CS20S

In 20S Computer Science, students are given an introduction through Python. Students will learn the basics of variables, conditionals, functions, Strings, and more through both Python Turtle and basic input/output. 

CS30S

30S Computer Science will help students extend their understandings from 20S as they apply their knowledge to real life projects in AppLab (Javascript) and Greenfoot (Java). Students will also gain an understanding of event-driven and object oriented programming.

CS40S

40S and 42S(AP) Computer Science are theory-based courses that cover almost all first year university computer science. Both cover the basics of Java, including classes, inheritance, 2D arrays, Arraylists, and basic algorithms. Students take either 40S or 42S, as 42S students will prepare to write the AP Computer Science A exam in May, while 40S students do not. Students may be granted university level credit in which they meet the university's minimum grade requirement. Students should check the AP transfer policies of the university they are applying to.
