Mark your calendars for 2025-26 Information Session Dates, Application Info and more!

Late January and early February include program-specific evening virtual information sessions. Most are for post-secondary dual credit programs and one course. Please also go to the PARENTS tab for more information session details (another poster). Grade 10/11 families should look for an email being sent out the week of January 12th. This will provide session dates/times and the link/passcode to the information session. If you do not receive this, email our office at careerprograms @sd38.bc.ca . For the post-secondary program sessions, you will hear from the instructor or department head!

NOTE: Program applications are on our website (see Programs tab), and in your school's Career Programs slatboard (found in or near your counsellors' office), or send us an email.
