Dual Credits

KPDSB and Confederation College continue to run dual credit courses that count as credits toward both the Ontario Secondary School Diploma and a postsecondary certificate, diploma, degree, or Certificate of Apprenticeship.

Students taking a dual credit learn with a college instructor and a secondary teacher in their school. Supporting student transition to post-secondary, students also have access to college services and supports they wouldn’t otherwise.

The majority of KPDSB dual credit programming runs in the second half of the school year. However, in the first half of the 2022–2023 school year, we are running four college-delivered programs — Welding T-Joints/Manufacturing Technology and Introduction to Carpentry/Renovations at Beaver Brae Secondary School, Wellness for Life at Sioux North High School, and a virtual Human Relations course available to all KPDSB schools.
