What is the Co-op Department?
Cooperative Education is a ministry-approved program that provides students with a wide variety of rigorous learning opportunities connected to communities outside the school. It allows students to earn secondary school credits through an experiential learning placement that connects to a related course either previously or concurrently taken by the student.
