Dogwood Diploma

This program is certified by the BC Ministry of Education and fully conforms to the ministry’s requirements. Successful graduates will receive a BC Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma), the same credential offered by all public high schools in BC. This diploma provides direct entry to Canadian universities. Advance placement is possible through transfer of previously completed equivalent high school credit, so students can take less than the required 20 courses for graduation. This program requires students to complete additional Literacy and numeracy assessments for graduation.
