We offer Adult Day School Programs that will help you upgrade a mark, obtain credits for College or University or to complete your High School Diploma. These program are offered to Adult Learners, ages 18 and older who are not registered with a Secondary School and have achieved at least 16 credits.
The Adult Day School program provides a structured and disciplined learning environment, using the OSS curriculum. Adult Credit courses are offered during the day only. All credit courses are 110 hours of study as per Ministry of Education guidelines.
If you are working toward graduation, please connect first with the ASSESSMENT CENTRE and schedule a credit assessment to determine which credits you’ll require to graduate and how equivalency credits can help you get there faster! You can reach the Assessment Centre by calling 905-521-2554.

Hill Park Learning Centre, 465 East 16th Street, Hamilton (on the Mountain near Mohawk Road and Upper Wentworth)
