The BC Graduation Program sets the requirements to exit the K-12 education system with a BC Certificate of Graduation (Dogwood Diploma) and ensures that students are graduating from secondary school as educated citizens, with the knowledge, competencies, and skills they will need to transition successfully into post-secondary education, training, or the workforce. Starting in Grade 10, students start earning credits towards their graduation, which transforms them into educated citizens. It puts equal emphasis on intellectual, human, social, and career development. The learning standards are settled so that students know the big ideas, and concepts and successfully demonstrate them in the area of learning

To graduate wth a Dogwood Diploma, students need a total of 80 credits (52 from required curses and 28 from elective courses, with at least 16 credits 12 grades). We offer up to 20 elective art/design courses worth 4 credits each.
‍Our Arts Elective Courses are designed to enhance students artistic skills, explore different art disciplines, and ignite their passion for creativity.
