The ALC program is a self-paced way for adult students to earn their Gr. 12 Diplomas (Ontario Secondary School Diploma – OSSD). Once registered with ALC, students are welcome to pick up a lesson, drop off a lesson, or stay to work on a course. We offer both paper-based, and e-learning courses. We provide year-round, continuous intake for our program. Obtaining your Diploma is important for better career opportunities and the ability to go to college and access training opportunities. Those with a Diploma are more likely to get a job with a higher salary. The ALC instructor can assist with upgrading your math and science to prepare for college & university level courses.
