Certificate of High School Achievement requirements for francophone students – English Language Arts
Francophone students who use Français 20-2 or Français 30-4 to meet the language arts requirements for a Certificate of High School Achievement must also either complete English Language Arts 20-2 or 30-4. The principal of a francophone school may exempt Canadian and immigrant unilingual francophone students enrolled in a francophone regional authority from meeting the English Language Arts 20-2 or 30-4 Certificate of High School Achievement requirement provided that:
- the student entered the Alberta school system within 5 years of the anticipated completion year, and
- the principal deems the student does not demonstrate sufficient English language proficiency to successfully complete English Language Arts 20-2 or 30-4
The principal must report the exemption in PASI at the time it is granted. Note, the exempted student must still be enrolled in English as a second language or English language arts courses. The student is still required to achieve the necessary minimum requirement of 80 credits to earn a Certificate of High School Achievement.
