Secondary School programming is based on the Alberta secondary school curriculum. Our students write the Alberta Departmental Examinations to graduate from grade 12. The Agency has enriched the NWT/Alberta curriculum with the development of a number of local developed courses and units for CTS or Career and Technology Studies.
