I teach in a small Independant High School in Kelowna BC Canada.  Our 
computer lab consists of 20 independant IBM compatible computers and is 
used by all grades (7-12).  In grades 7-10 the students are introduced 
to the computer ... the curriculum is very basic.  This year I've been 
asked to teach Math and Science 7 and will be trying to integrate the 
computer into those areas (and help the other grade 7 teachers do the 
same in their areas).  In other words, we'll be re-writing the 
curriculum at this level.

Yes, but it is being revised as mentioned.  At the grade 11 level our 
curriculum looks a bit like:

At the grade 12 level we emphasis programming and to cap it all off I 
offer the AP Computer Science course to all who want to try it.
