CNC Dual Credit

School District 91 has partnered with the College of New Caledonia (CNC) to offer a selection of first-year level courses for grade 11-12 students. All courses are delivered as ‘unscheduled online’, meaning that there is no travel required, and there are no set online classes, thereby allowing students to work through the content at their own pace.

CNC terms are different than high school - Fall courses run September-December, and Spring courses run January-April. Be sure to submit your application to participate in these programs well ahead of the start of term.
