KPDSB continues to run dual credit college courses that, as well as counting toward their postsecondary certificate, diploma, degree or Certificate of Apprenticeship, will count toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma. Students taking dual credits benefit from the supervision and support of their college instructor and a secondary teacher in their school. Students also have access to college services and supports they wouldn’t have otherwise. Dual credit programs help students understand their postsecondary opportunities, gain insight into the decisions they must make near the end of their secondary education and ease their transition to postsecondary choices.
Most of KPDSB’s dual credit programming runs in the second half of the school year. However, in the first half of the 2020–2021 school year are two college-delivered programs: Welding T-Joints/Manufacturing Technology at Beaver Brae Secondary School and Career Employment Preparation at Red Lake District High School.
