For High School Upgrading Programs

Beginning February 2026, all in-person High School Upgrading courses will be relocated downtown to 332 - 6 Ave SE, Calgary, AB (Bow Valley College). The new location consolidates Chinook's High School Upgrading courses to one central location. All Registration and Classroom Learning courses for High School Upgrading will continue to be offered and run by Chinook.
