High School Upgrading involves retaking a minimum of 50% of a course to improve the grade of a course that you have passed and received the credits for.

Credit Recovery involves retaking a course that you did not pass and did not receive credits for.

Golden Hills Learning Academy offers upgrading and credit recovery options for senior high and adult students.  These include:

• The ability to retake a course to improve on school-awarded marks,
• Upgrading levels of any given subject to gain the prerequisites for post-secondary education.
• Retaking diploma exams either along with the course or on their own. 
  • When a student re-writes a diploma exam, they will receive the higher of the two marks.  This diploma mark will then be blended with the class mark to obtain the final grade on the transcript *Please note that there is a fee for re-writing any diploma exams and the student is responsible for registering for the diploma through their MyPass account.

Please fill out a 24-25 Online Program Student Registration if you are not yet a GHLA student. If you are a current GHLA student and would like to add an additional course please sign into PowerSchool and fill out the Addition Course Request in SchoolEngage or call 403-934-5179 Ext 7021 and speak to Rhonda Olson.

Golden Hills Learning Academy offers a completely online, asynchronous junior high program. 

Our program offers students flexibility in their learning environment that traditional schools cannot provide. Students create their own timetable based on the required hours Alberta Education has for each course.

Junior High students who are successful in our courses are self-motivated, organized, and enjoy working independently. Parents (or Guardians) are the key to the success of this type of learning. We depend on them to help our Junior High students stay on task and keep up with their schedules. As most Junior High students are under 16 years old, we strongly encourage supervision of the program.  The GHLA staff works closely with the student and the parents in offering online, over-the-phone, and face-to-face tutoring and support.

Junior High students living outside of Golden Hills School Division will need to register before September 30th each school year.

Junior High students from within Golden Hills School Division can only move to GHLA within the school year if given a referral from their current school and our GHLA admin accepts the referral.
