Language Challenge
2024-25
Challenge Exam Procedures
The purpose of Language Challenge is to permit students who have already acquired the appropriate learning elsewhere to obtain credit for a Grade 11 or 12 course. Students who request the opportunity to challenge a course must be able to give compelling evidence that they will succeed in the challenge and that it is in their best interests. A successful challenge results in a student receiving credit for the appropriate content as well as a school mark.

Exams will take place on Saturday, February 1 (Grade 11) and Sunday, February 2, 2025 (Grade 12). Your exam will take around three hours – you will be informed whether your exam is scheduled for the morning or afternoon.
Challenge Procedures
Challenge consists of registration, evaluation, and examination. Cost to register for the exam is $50 and this is refunded when the student writes the exam ($205 non-refundable for international students). Students may challenge a course only once. At this point, registration takes place in November and exams are written in late January.
Please Note:
While a challenged course will satisfy a second language requirement for university, IT MAY NOT be used in the average courses needed for admission at some post secondary institution. For more information, please contact your school counsellor.
