Distance Education for Adults
If you're a Canadian adult, living in Ontario but not currently attending secondary school, you may be able to continue your studies through distance education. The Independent Learning Centre (ILC) provides a distance education program, in English and in French, for Ontario residents who want to earn secondary school diploma credits, upgrade basic skills, or study for personal development. The ILC also offers an elementary program for children temporarily living outside Canada.
A number of other distance education options are also available.
