Opportunities are available for students (including those with significant cognitive disabilities) to choose courses that are of interest to them. High school students earn credits for compulsory and optional courses, locally developed courses, distance education courses, post secondary courses (college and university) and others such as community service. Students, who have completed the required number of compulsory and optional courses, including (M) course designations, receive a Manitoba high school diploma.
