KWANTLEN UNIVERSITY + SD35 = XCEL Program
Langley School District has entered into a partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Langley Campus) to provide students with the opportunity to complete one or two university courses, while finishing Grade 12. Students choose one course for the fall semester (September-December) and one for the winter semester (January-April).
Examples of available courses: Anthropology, Criminology, Sustainable Horticulture, Marketing, Music, Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology, Creative Writing, and Organizational Behaviour
All courses offered at Kwantlen can be used to complete the first year of a university degree or diploma. Students will receive dual credit (high school credit + post-secondary credit for all successfully completed Kwantlen Polytechnic University courses).
Participating students will receive additional support to access university for the first time and will be guided in the navigation of all aspects of their post-secondary experience.
