"Lifelong learning, literacy, upgrading,
enrichment and diploma programs."

Public School Program

The Level 1,2 and 3 Programs prepare the learner to proceed to the Level 4 Adult Diploma Program.

Adult Learning Program

• High School Diplomas can be obtained through the Adult Learning Program. The Level 4 achievement is a 12 credit diploma program, offered at the education centre through Nova Scotia Community College that recognizes the skills you have gained before you became an adult learner.
• Portfolio classes create an opportunity for the adult learners to recognize their own previous life experiences and are an integral part of the Level 4 program.

Combination Diplomas
