There are two centres for students who need to make up pre-requisite courses for college entrance or want to complete their High School leaving.

1. PACC (located in the old Riverside High School in Lasalle.)

2. PLACE CARTIER (located in the old Beaconsfield Elementary School)


Both offer a variety of courses that can lead to a Secondary V graduation, or meet the requirements for entry to various CEGEP programs. An Adult Ed. course equivalent to a ten month course in a regular high school is generally completed in no more than four months, and some terms (more intensive) are even shorter. The trade-off is that fewer courses can be scheduled at a time.

My experience in working at Adult Ed. and sending hundreds of students, is that the students who are serious and able to discipline themselves to work do very well. A student must be in his/her seventeenth year before he/she is allowed to attend an Adult education institution. You cannot take an Adult Education course while attending a regular high school.
There is a registration fee when a student signs up (under $100), but the courses themselves are free. The students are generally responsible for buying their books (which they can keep).

I have attached sample schedules. They are posted as examples only, and liable to be out of date as you read this. Please contact the Adult Education centres directly to register or get the up-to-date information. Please note that graduation requirements from Adult Ed. are slightly different from regular high school. It is important that a perspective student sees an Adult Education Counsellor to ensure the right courses.
