Dual Credit Program

Dual credits are offered at every secondary school in KPR, as part of the School-College-Work Initiative (SCWI) and the Student Success Program.

Dual credits are courses offered in partnership with area colleges. Students enrolled in a dual credit are earning a credit that counts towards their high school diploma and also a college credit, at no charge to the student. Typically, dual credits are Grade 12 courses, and students can earn up to four dual credits as part of their high school pathway plan.

What are the benefits?

Students are not only earning both high school and college credits, but they are also getting an opportunity to gain the skills necessary to ease the transition to post-secondary programs. Students who take part in this program may also have a lighter course load at college since they have already started to accumulate credits. Dual credit students have a head start on learning and training for their future careers.
