Dual Credit
Earn high school AND post-secondary credit at the same time! Collaboration and partnership with Southern Alberta post-secondary institutions provide students with opportunities and choice in career pathways. Courses may be offered at a high school, at a College, online, or a combination of these. Students only pay the course materials fee.
The Dual Credit program is an excellent opportunity for high school students. Your Career Practitioner can help you decide is this is right for you. To get started, select your courses (1 per semester), apply to Livingstone Range School Division, get accepted, and then start your dual credit/career pathway journey!

Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute (SACI)
Livingstone Range School Division is a member of the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute (SACI), which opens up incredible career training possibilities for our students.
"In collaboration with Lethbridge College, Career Transitions, Careers: Next Generation, and Southern Alberta school divisions, the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute offers career pathway programs for youth in grades 7-12 with the opportunity to explore Trades, Agriculture, and Health Care careers.
Career Pathways are formed from combinations of hands-on learning experiences that gradually narrow from broad exposures and activities, culminating with dual credit courses and programs that provide a head-start in post-secondary study. Career pathways are directed by student choices and may look different for each individual."

SACI's E3 Program offers a hands-on approach to exploring Trades, Agriculture and Health Care for Grade 7-9 students. Contact your school principal for more information or to enroll.
