In an adult-focused learning environment you will complete credits for a Grade 12 standing recognized by the Ministry of Education. Core subject areas include English, Canadian Studies, mathematics, science and 30-level electives to finish the Grade 12 program.
The Adult Basic Education program also provides educational opportunities for individuals who have completed high school and wish to upgrade specific classes.
Upgraders - did you leave high school early? Do you need a few more credits or higher marks in some subjects? Did you attend high school in a country with different requirements? Upgrading might be right for you. To enter into many post-secondary programs you will need specific high school courses and grades, which we offer in our grade 12 classrooms.
