Cooperative Opportunities Providing Education (COPE) is an alternative education program designed for students who need a different learning environment than that of a regular school. In COPE, flexible and supportive schedules are arranged for students to earn cooperative education and regular course credits toward their diploma. Students may enter COPE at any time in the school year. Contact the school principal or vice-principal for more information.
On an individual basis, secondary schools will offer curriculum that has been matched with the curriculum for the in-school Basic Level Apprenticeship component. Courses for which this may occur are Construction, Manufacturing and Transportation. Successful completion of the curriculum in secondary school will permit students to challenge the apprenticeship Level One test in these trades, or write a college level equivalency test.
