One program allows graduating Grade 8 students to earn a credit prior to entering high school in September. Students can choose between Learning Strategies, and Careers and Civics.

Secondary school students can also upgrade a credit in an effort to improve their final grade or recover their credit after receiving a failing grade.

Literacy and numeracy support programs are also being offered to students in Grades 6-8.
