Earn Your Diploma!

We Do Adult Education Differently

 

Achieve Your High School Diploma at  
Our Lady of Hope Catholic Continuing Education School

At the Simcoe Muskoka Catholic District School Board, we believe it is never too late to reach your goals. Our Adult & Continuing Education program is specifically designed for students aged 18 and older who are looking to earn the remaining credits for their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

A Program Built Around You

You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. When you enroll, you’ll partner with a dedicated teacher to build a flexible learning plan tailored to your life. Your personalized program may include:

  • Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR): Get credit for your previous work and life experiences.

  • Co-op Placements: Earn credits while gaining hands-on work experience.

  • e-Learning & Independent Study: Learn at your own pace with flexible scheduling.

  • Regular Mentorship: Meet with your teacher consistently to stay on track and motivated.

Did you know?  Your diploma might be closer than you think. Many mature students qualify for credits based on their prior learning, significantly shortening the time to graduation.

Enrollment & Intake Information

While we operate on a continuous intake model, please be mindful of our seasonal schedule:

  • May & June: This is our busiest time of year. If you apply during these months, you will typically be contacted for our Summer or September intake.

  • Current Grade 12 Students: If you are transitioning from a traditional high school to adult education, we look forward to connecting with you for our September intake.
