Adult Program Options

 

School District #28 offers tuition free, online courses for adults looking to upgrade their education.

The adult courses are offered online.

  • The online course offerings allow flexibility for adults to work at a pace that suits them.
  • The online options make it possible to fit their studies around work and/or family responsibilities.
  • Adult students will need access to a computer and the Internet to be able to access the courses.

To write the tests adult students set an appointment with their teacher or coordinator and we provide a testing space at Helen Dixon Center.
