What are Programs of Choice?
Langley School District offers a rich diversity of programs that are designed to meet the specific needs and interests of students. Programs of Choice fall into three main categories: District Programs, School-based Programs, and programs offered through the Career Education Department. Students and parents interested in additional choice options should ask at the office of their neighbourhood school. Many individual courses that may be of interest are not listed here.

District Programs
When a student enrolls in a District Program all or certainly most of their courses and instruction is delivered within the context of the program. District Programs must deliver the BC School Curriculum, but they usually adapt the way that curriculum is delivered to suit the emphasis of the program. District Programs of Choice accept applications for registration from anywhere in the district, and do not give preference to neighbourhood students. Applications for the entry level year of District Programs are maintained at the School Board Office, and are processed on a first-come-first-served basis as spaces become available. District Programs in Langley include: Fine Arts programs, Fundamental programs, French Immersion programs, the Langley Montessori Program and U-Connect Distance Learning.

School-based Programs
School-based Programs of Choice are programs that have been developed at neighbourhood schools, but which are open to students throughout the district if space is available. Students in School-based Programs take specialized courses while they continue in the neighbourhood program. Applications for registration in School-based Programs are maintained at the school where the program is offered.

Programs offered through Career Education
Students can take courses that earn them credits toward certification in a trade, or which earn them dual secondary/post-secondary credits while they are still in secondary school. The Secondary School Apprenticeship program allows students to spend part of their school year working in a trade and acquiring experience and credentials toward certification. The Career Technical Consortium - a partnership between Langley School District and Kwantlen University College - allows students to earn dual credits, completing post-secondary requirements in specific career fields, which also apply toward secondary graduation. Applications for registration into Secondary School Apprenticeship programs can be made through the SSA representative at your school. Applications for registration into the Career Technical Consortium programs can be made through the Counseling Office at your school.
