Accreditation for the high school Religious Studies Program is granted by Alberta Education. (Policy 1.2.1 Locally Developed/Acquired and Authorized Junior and Senior High School Complementary Courses and 1.2.2 Locally Developed Religious Studies Courses). The policy 1.2.2 states clearly that "The Alberta Catholic School Trustees' Association Consortium Program was approved on the condition that the emphasis in 20% of the content of each course (Religious Studies 15-25-35) be placed on comparative religious studies." This is to provide an "opportunity for students to develop a respect and understanding for other major world faiths."
