Secondary Skill Building

Secondary Skill Building courses are non-credit face-to-face courses. Students may take these courses to review previously covered course content OR to preview a course that they will take in the future. For example, a Grade 9 Math Skill Building class might include students who have taken Math 9 and would benefit from reviewing the Grade 9 curriculum or students are in grade 8 who want to preview the Grade 9 curriculum.

Secondary Skill Building courses are available to all students who will be in Grades 9 through 11 as of the upcoming September (with the exception of Band and Culinary courses, which are open to students who will be in Grades 8 through 11 as of the upcoming September).

Note: Classes do not cover the entire curriculum in the course area. They do not replace an entire grade. Students completing these courses do not receive a final letter grade, nor is this course recorded on their transcript. Students will be assessed only on the curriculum content that is covered during the 3-week program.

High School Credit

High School Credit courses are full credit face-to-face courses. Students who successfully complete these courses will receive full credit and a final course mark on their transcript.

Please be aware that High School Credit courses are rigorous and intense. Completing a full credit course in six weeks requires a serious commitment from the student as classes are 3.5 hours long, there is regular homework involved, and daily attendance is mandatory. Please register only if you are making this commitment.

Most full-credit Math and Science courses will charge a $35 materials or workbook fee.

Registration is open to all school aged students, whether or not enrolled in SD43 schools. Students must be able to attend in-person classes weekly throughout the program. (For fully online courses please visit Coquitlam Open Learning).

Adult students are permitted to register in grade 11 or 12 Fast Track courses. Adult students may not take Grade 10 curses or any in-person High School Credit classes.
