GRADE 10-12 SASKATCHEWAN HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT SYSTEM
In Saskatchewan, students have to pass certain courses such as English language arts, math and science in order to graduate with a Grade 12 program standing. Students must successfully complete and pass 24 course credits.
At the secondary level, there are three categories in which students must obtain credits:
• required courses of study which are compulsory courses intended to provide a general education;
• specified areas of study which are intended to allow students to continue to take courses of a general nature or to specialize in areas of individual interest; and,
• electives which allow for further choice and specialization based on individual needs and local priorities.
There are special course requirements for Bilingual or Fransaskois mention on your official Transcript of Secondary Level Achievement.
For bilingual mention, 12 of the 24 courses must be taught in French including three French language arts courses.
For Fransaskois mention, 21 of the 24 courses must be taught in French including five compulsory French language arts courses.
