What is Dual Credit?
There are a number of Dual Credit opportunities available to students in the Limestone District School Board each semester.
These courses are provided at St. Lawrence College in Kingston.

A variety of courses in disciplines such as early childhood education, police foundations, graphic design, culinary arts and business, and trades are among the possibilities.
Dual Credits provide students with the opportunity to:
-
Earn high school credits while studying at a local college or taking apprenticeship training;
-
Gain experience that will help them with their post-secondary education or apprenticeship; and
-
Get a head start on learning and training for their future careers.
