Diploma Exams & Preparing for Diploma Exams

Diploma Exams are administered to students in select grade 12 courses and have three main purposes:

• to certify the level of individual student achievement in selected grade 12 courses;
• to ensure that province-wide standards of achievement are maintained;
• to report individual and group results.

For information about the schedule for Diploma Exams, practice exams, and results please visit Alberta Education.

The best preparation for Diploma Exams is attending classes and completing assigned work. Our teachers at Fort Saskatchewan High School do their best during class time to prepare students for Diploma Exams, however, some students find they want additional preparation. Teachers are available throughout the semester on most Wednesdays during BEE block for additional help, as well as at other times as needed. Teachers also offer times during exam breaks for students who are seeking help. 

If a student finds they need more than this, there are several Diploma Preparation courses offered in our area which include:
