High Schools in Calgary are funded where students get six semesters to complete their work. If students are unable to complete 100 credits in six semesters they are entitled to go to Chinook Learning Services where they are fully funded. I work as a teacher at a school where we get funding for students who haven't completed their education in six semesters and we are able to meet their academic needs.
