Gr 10-12 Dual Credit Courses

Through the collegiate dual credit model, LRSD will be able to extend the learning opportunities provided by PEAKS Campus and the surrounding land to a wider audience of younger students. By exploring various aspects of the regional natural and built environment, students will connect with areas of interest and prepare to select from one of the various career-connected pathways offered at the high school level. 

At the high school level, the initial years of all three pathways are very similar. The pathways have been designed to consider student choice and flexibility, allowing students to change pathways at any time. Should students discover that they are not interested in one of the three dual credit pathways, their courses would still serve as prerequisites to other college classes and pathways. Our career practitioners and off-campus coordinators will work with students to raise awareness for these pathways, monitor progress and adjust student courses based on interest.

Through a blended program leveraging the existing LRSD Virtual School, Lethbridge College LMS system for online instruction and PEAKS Collegiate Campus for hands-on experiential learning, students will be engaged in a progressive and flexible learning model. Students would come to PEAKS Campus for 4 nights and 5 days working through the experiential portion of the course in a variety of field study activities leveraging the local environment, industry partners and our mobile field lab to complete the lab requirements of the dual credit content.
