Indigenous Studies Courses at Emery Dosdall Secondary School:
In March, the BC Ministry of Education announced a new Indigenous Graduation Requirement that came into effect for the 2023-2024 school year. This requirement is part of the province’s Indigenous-specific anti-racism and discrimination strategy for the K-12 school system. It is guided by the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and is an important commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in our community.
EDSS students will have several four credit opportunities to engage in learning to meet the new graduation requirements. These choices include:
| Grade 10 | Grade 11 | Grade 12 |
