Night School

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 working toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma to register in courses not available at their home school or improve upon marks from previous course attempts. These programs also support  adult learners returning to high school for various reasons, a core focus of the work in our Department.
