ALTERNATE PROGRAMS
ADVANCED PLACEMENT PROGRAM
Advanced Placement (AP) is an internationally recognized program that offers motivated students the opportunity to engage in enriched, university-level learning while still in high school. AP courses are designed to challenge students, foster independence, and support a successful transition to post-secondary education.
Through AP, students develop essential academic skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, time management, and effective study habits, which are key to thriving in university and beyond.
Students who successfully complete AP exams may be eligible to receive credit for first-year university courses at many colleges and universities worldwide. In some cases, AP exam scores can also be used in the calculation of admission averages, potentially boosting a student’s overall average if their AP exam score exceeds their Diploma Exam mark.
Even when AP exam scores do not result in post-secondary credit, there are clear benefits. Research from the College Board (2021) shows a strong positive relationship between participation in AP courses and exams and both post-secondary enrollment and long-term academic success.

REGISTERED APPRENTICE PROGRAM
Begin a trade apprenticeship while still in high school. In many trades, students may be able to complete first year apprenticeship and attend a post-secondary institution the year following graduation. Up to 40 high school credits can be earned through RAP. It is recommended that students begin RAP after their Grade 10 year in order to complete all credits required for graduation.
Contact Mr. Kyle Sedgwick or Mr. Matt Tillapaugh more information.
WORK EXPERIENCE
In partnership with local employers, students earn credits while employed at worksites in the community relating to future career plans.
Alberta Education requires students to complete a 30 level Workplace Safety Systems module (HCS3000) before work hours can be counted toward credits.
Contact Mr. Kyle Sedgwick or Mr. Matt Tillapaugh more information.
