Co-Operative Education Program

The Co-operative Education Program (Co-op Ed) is intended for students whose academic and personal needs require individualized programming. This program is comprised of four main domains; social, academic, life-skills, and pre-vocational and employment training. The program domains facilitate the development of competencies which encompass daily living, personal, social, and occupational skills. Upon consultation with a Student Services contact person and Administrative approval, students may choose some electives in interest areas, or can be enrolled in courses at the Louis Riel Arts and Technology Centre or Winnipeg Technical College when it is deemed appropriate for the student to do so. 

All students are expected to participate in a variety of community–based work experiences and provincially approved career education courses intended to develop job-related skills and a smooth transition into competitive employment upon graduation. Entrance into this program requires the approval of the 91探花app Director of Student Services.

Advanced Placement Program


NOTE: This program is only available to students in their grade 12 year; however students must begin planning in Grade 10 and 11.

Advanced Placement (AP) courses are first year University level courses that go beyond the curriculum expectations of specialized courses. It is a cooperative educational endeavor between secondary schools and universities around the world including the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg. The program exposes high school students to university level material and it gives the students the opportunity to show that they have mastered it by taking the optional AP exam. Colleges and universities can then grant the successful students credit; advanced standing; or both. The policies of each University differ so students are advised to check out the regulations from the University that they plan to attend. 

Students must have an average of 75% or higher in that subject in grade 11 & 12 to qualify to take the courses. Students who select an AP course must complete the grade 12 level first. AP credits earned count towards graduation. 

Advanced Placement courses are designed for the highly motivated student with an excellent work ethic. Students can benefit from taking AP courses by learning a subject in greater depth; developing skills that will be critically important to successful study in college and demonstrating to colleges and universities a student’s willingness to undertake a challenging course. 

Advanced Placement students are be required to pay a fee for the final exams. Costs will range from approximately $120.00 - $190.00 depending upon the course. However successful students will save tuition and textbook expenses for that course at university.

AP Courses:

  • Advance Placement Biology 42S (B42S)
  • Introduction to Calculus and Advanced Math 40S (MICAM40S)
  • Introduction to Calculus 42U (MIC42U)
  • Advanced Placement Chemistry 42S (C42S)
  • Advanced Placement History 42S (H42S) Online
  • Advanced Placement Physics I 42S (P42S)

The most important benefit:

In all cases, Dakota students who take the AP course will experience the demands and rigor of a University level course, at very little cost. For our students, the experience alone is excellent preparation for University life. In fact, many students take AP courses to ensure that they will get even better marks in their first year at University when grade point averages may determine whether or not students are accepted into various faculties.

Registering for courses:

If you are considering taking an AP course you commit yourself to taking 2 semesters in the subject. In the science courses the first semester students take the 40S course. In the second semester students take the AP course to earn 2nd high school credit (C42S, P42S, B42S). 

For the AP history course taking a 40S history course is not required.
