Entrance Requirements

Louis Riel School Division High School Students

Secondary students must have a complete Grade 10 in order to enroll at ATC. Students must apply through their respective high schools allowing them to participate in school events and extra-curricular activities such as sports, music and student government. Students usually enroll for one semester at ATC in a Technology Education program of their choice and for one semester at their home school. Students who successfully complete an ATC program have the opportunity to graduate with a dual high school diploma (see a counsellor for details).

Academic classes at the Grade 11 and Grade 12 level are also offered to help overcome home school timetable conflicts due to enrolment at ATC. Academic classes need to be arranged with home school counsellors.

Students in DSFM and Sunrise School Divisions can apply through their home high school.
