Dual-Credit Opportunities

Did you know that high school students can get a jump start on their post-secondary education by earning college credit while still in high school?

Students can take “dual credit courses” as part of their high school program and receive credits toward their high school diploma, and at the same time, earn college credit – with NO tuition fees! 

Students should speak with their school's academic advisor to see what dual credit courses are currently offered and if dual credit is a good fit for them. 

We are proud to have dual credit agreements with esteemed institutions like Lethbridge Polytechnic, Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT), and Olds College. Our partnerships ensure that you have a variety of excellent course offerings to choose from, further enhancing your learning journey.

Dual credit courses offer numerous advantages. Not only do they give you a head start on your post-secondary education, but they also provide valuable practical skills and exposure to industry environments. You can make informed decisions about your future careers and set yourself on a path to success early on.

Remember, dual credit courses are ideally suited to students in grades 11 and 12. If there's a field of study you'd like to see included, please let your principal know.
