Our HWW Languages team is introducing a new opportunity for incoming grade 10 students who have a background in Spanish or French to challenge language 10 or 20 courses. If you feel that your skills in either of these languages are proficient then you are welcome to join us at Henry Wise Wood on August 26th at 10:00 AM in room 116 to challenge the 10-level course. If you are successful and receive 65% or higher, you will be placed in the 20-level language course and will receive retro-credits for the 10-level.

*NEW* The Calgary Board of Education will also be offering language challenges at the 30 level. These language challenges will happen two times per year, once per semester, at a centralized location. Upon completion of the language challenge, students will receive 15 credits total for the language at the 10-20-30 level. This challenge should only be undertaken if there is significant experience with a particular language such as an immersion program in Jr. High School. More information on the CBE language challenge can be found on the French & International Languages Challenge Guide.

If you feel that the 10-20 French or Spanish challenge or the 30 level CBE challenge is of interest, please use the Interest Form to indicate.
