Adult Day School

We offer an Adult Day School Program that will help you upgrade a mark, obtain credits for College or University or to complete your High School Diploma.  This program is 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 90-110 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.  You can reach the Assessment Centre by calling 905-521-2554. 

We offer two types of Adult Day School Programs:

KING WILLIAM LEARNING CENTRE: The program operates in 13 week sessions Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. College and Workplace courses are offered in a teacher taught setting.  See course list:

For many students, one or two full successful sessions (8 senior credits) at King William Learning Centre  or two to four sessions at the Red Hill Learning Centre (4 – 8 senior credits) will fulfill the requirements for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).  Adults who require one or two additional credits to graduate, can participate in Red Hill Adult Day School program or earn them through our Independent Study Program.
