Dual Credit Options
Offering the Dual Credit Program compliments the Livingstone Range School Division Priorities:
- Providing quality education to rural students in a dynamic learning environment.
- Consistent delivery of high-quality programming and teaching that is responsive to diverse student needs and interests in an inclusive environment.
- Dual Credit programming will support the preparation of students for success after high school.
Each dual credit program presents different opportunities and experiences. “Dual Credit” allows for students enrolled in these programs to receive High School credits toward graduation, and credit in College or University programs. At a limited charge to students, courses may be offered at a high school, at the University or College, online or a combination of both.

| Rotary Alberta Youth Entrepreneurship Camp |
RAYEC is a week-long camp that takes place every August for youth ages 13- 15 who are interested in learning about business and entrepreneurship. The main focus of this camp is to educate youth about marketing, advertising, preparing a cash-flow statement and writing a business plan. Campers set up their own businesses and use real money which they borrow from actual bankers. The last day is “Business Day” at the camp, where campers have the opportunity to open and operate their businesses. The youth also get to participate in many fun recreational activities throughout their week at camp. |
| Outward Bound Canada | Develop your outdoor and interpersonal skills on this 14-day adventure in the Canadian Rockies. You will create a strong sense of community with your peers as you travel through the wilderness, learning how to work together to accomplish daily tasks and make decisions to keep you and your group thriving in the elements. |
