PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Our High School Completion program offers Grade 11 and Grade 12 courses for adults (18 years of age or older). These courses can be used to complete high school graduation or as upgrade courses for academic subjects.

Final school marks for high school courses are reported to the BC Ministry of Education to update BC graduation transcripts.

ADULTS WHO HAVE ALREADY GRADUATED
Adults who have already graduated from high school (in BC or anywhere in the world) can take our high school courses to refresh their knowledge or upgrade their marks before applying to college or university.

2018 Graduation Program
Students who recently left a BC high school without graduating can enroll at Burnaby CCE to complete their missing courses for the regular Grade 10-12 graduation program (this is also called the 2018 Graduation Program or Dogwood Certificate).
