Students in Blackfalds looking to get ahead or earn extra credits this year can now register for the Wolf Creek Summer School program. Registration for the upcoming summer session opened in mid-April, offering a variety of academic opportunities for local learners.
The program, which is operated by Wolf Creek Public Schools, provides in-person courses at École Secondaire Lacombe Composite High School. The facility is located approximately 15 kilometres from Blackfalds at 5628 56th Ave in Lacombe.
Current Wolf Creek students, including those at Iron Ridge Secondary Campus, can complete their registration forms through the School Engage section of their parent portal. Students from outside the school division are also welcome to apply by creating an account on the registration portal.
The cost to attend is $65 for current Wolf Creek students and $90 for those from other divisions. While most courses have a fee, the division notes that Tech Academy and Work Experience programs are available at no charge exclusively for current Wolf Creek students. Due to the intensive nature of the summer program, students are generally limited to selecting one full course, though exceptions for credit recovery may be granted with approval from the principal.
Courses offered include a wide range of core subjects such as Math, English, Science, and Social Studies, along with programs like CALM 20 and the Tech Academy. The sessions will run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, with scheduled breaks throughout the day. For students enrolled in Grade 12 diploma exam courses, it is mandatory to register for the final exam through the provincial myPASS system after July 1.
