CoOperative Education

CoOperative Education is a great opportunity for Gr11 & 12 students to gain valuable work experience while earning their credits.  This can help build a resume, explore potential future work interests, or help earn hours towards their apprenticeship.  Students should select CoOp during their course selection process and attend an information session.  For more information about our CoOp program, contact Danny.Hadida@tdsb.on.ca 

Dual Credits

"Dual credit programs are programs approved by the Ministry of Education that allow students, while they are still in secondary school, to take college or apprenticeship course that counts towards both their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) and a postsecondary certificate, diploma, degree, or a Certificate of Apprenticeship.Dual credit programs are intended to assist secondary school students in completing their OSSD and making a successful transition to college and/or apprenticeship programs." (From the TDSB site. Link below)

School Within a College (SWAC)

"The TDSB offers SWAC in partnership with four GTA colleges (Centennial, George Brown, Humber and Seneca College). This program offers students between the ages of 17-20 the opportunity to earn secondary school credits and two college-delivered Dual Credits on a college campus, which also count towards their OSSD and college transcript.

The primary focus of the SWAC program is to support students who are disengaged and underachieving with the potential to succeed in an adult learning environment." (From the TDSB site. Link below)
