Adult Programs
Our adult learners each have a different experience and future plans. To get started, some need support with learning/improving English, some need support with building basic literacy and math skills and others are ready for credit courses right away.
Our programs emphasize basic and advanced skills such as reading, writing, math, and English language competency. Adult education programs also help adult learners gain the knowledge and skills they need to enter and succeed in post-secondary education or the workplace.

CE offers guidance to adult learners to assist you on your path to earning a high school diploma, develop new skills for the workplace or prepare for a post-secondary pathway.

Credit Readiness
Adult learners all have different experience and education. Many students require support with improving their English (ESL) or their basic literacy and math skills (LBS) before they are ready for credit classes.
Earn Credits
There are various high school credit earning programs available through Continuing Education HWDSB for adult learners. We offer day, evening, online, co-op and a hybrid of online and in-class learning options. NOTE: ESL benchmark of Level 6 required.
Maturity Credits
PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition) allows adult learners to achieve credits based on the skills and experience gained in formal and informal ways, outside of secondary school. NOTE: ESL benchmark of Level 6 required.
