Student Life

In Grade 9, students must take English, Social Studies, Mathematics, Science and Physical Education. Students can choose two to four complimentary courses per year from a list that could include: French, Outdoor Education, Music, Art, Foods, Media and Design and Construction.

Honour Society

Academic excellence is celebrated every year at BCHS through our honour roll at our Honours’ Society Presentations. Criteria can also be found in the Student-Parent Handbook. 

The following criteria will be used based on the Rutherford Criteria for Alberta: 80% average in five courses. At least two of Math 9, Science 9, Social Studies 9. Any other two equivalent full semester course.

The Honour Society Celebration will be held in the fall so that all provincial assessment tests (PATs) and diploma exams will be included in the final calculation of student grades. 

BCHS offers high school students all of the required courses and a select number of optional courses required to receive an Alberta High School Diploma. Students can also take courses at Canmore Collegiate High School or through the partnerships CRPS has with Golden Hills Academy, SAIT and Olds College in Flex blocks.

The majority of core and option courses are semestered. Humanities 10, STEM 10, PE10 and CALM 20 run all year.  Semestered five credit courses meet five times per week.
