OLDS — The Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) and South Alberta High School have formed an educational partnership to provide student athletes with high school programming and dual credit post-secondary classes online.
Not only will the program offer flexible learning to AJHL student athletes, but it can provide an opportunity for high school graduates to take dual credit post-secondary courses.
They can do so through Olds College, Medicine Hat College, Lethbridge College, the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Mount Royal University and Lakeland College.
An AJHL news release says South Alberta High School has been an option for AJHL, Western Hockey League and U18 players to continue their education while pursuing the sport they love.
“The AJHL offers elite hockey players the opportunity to reach their full potential, both on and off the ice, by providing an ideal environment to develop as a hockey player, while not compromising their academic goals,” AJHL Commissioner Ryan Bartoshyk is quoted in the release as saying.
“This new partnership will be a valuable resource for players and their families to make a seamless transition in their path to graduation or pursuit of post-secondary education.”
