About Night School

Night school is open to students from all school boards as well as to adult learners.

The OCDSB’s Continuing Education Department offers two Night School Sessions each year: a Fall Session from September to December and a Winter Session from February to May. Night School courses are an excellent opportunity for students to upgrade their courses or to take courses that are not available at their home school, as well as for adult learners working towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma or upgrading their courses.
