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 and have fewer than 26 credits now, please connect first with the WELCOME 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 Welcome Centre by calling 905-521-2554.
We offer Adult Day School Programs at:
Hill Park Learning Centre, 465 East 16th Street, Hamilton (on the Mountain near Mohawk Road and Upper Wentworth)
City Learning Centre, 110 King Street West, Suite 606 (in Jackson Square on the Plaza Level above the Food Court), Hamilton (downtown)
Adult Day School Courses are offered in 35 day sessions on a full or part time basis. Students take one course in the morning (8:30 am-11:45 pm) and/or afternoon (12:15-3:30 pm). Classes are teacher facilitated. Workplace, College and University (at Hill Park only) level courses are available.
For many students, after Assessment, just two to four sessions of Adult Day School (4 – 8 senior credits) will fulfill the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).
