Students in grades 11 and 12 at Cedars Christian School will be given the chance to attend CNC classes starting in September.
The dual-credit programs will provide students with high school and first year post-secondary credit, tuition-free.
“The idea behind CNC’s dual credit programs is that high school students get to experience postsecondary learning in the comfort of their own communities, and hopefully will want to stay in the north for study and work,” says Cindy Heitman, CNC President.
“It’s fantastic to partner with schools in the region that we serve and provide an accessible transition for students into the post-secondary world. Many of CNC programs transfer to UNBC and other universities, which aligns with our mission to facilitate lifelong learning and support learners in where they want to be in life.”
“Many of our students have older siblings or parents who attended CNC so the College is a very familiar environment for them”, adds Shane Nelson, Cedars Principal.
“Through our agreement with CNC, there’s a lot of opportunities for students to start thinking and dreaming about their future. It will open new doors to education and careers in areas such as health or child care, trades and technology.”
Cedars joins students in SD57, SD28 (Quesnel), and SD91 (Nechako Lakes) who are eligible to apply.
