Off-Campus Education

If so, dual credit or exploratory programs might be a perfect fit. Applications for Semester 2 dual credit programs are now open!
Please visit the Unique Pathways website (https://cbe.ab.ca/programs/high-school/unique-pathways-and-off-campus-education/Pages/default.aspx) to explore the available programs, designed for students in Grades 11 and 12.
