We are pleased to offer flexible learning options catered to each student’s needs. So if you’re looking to upgrade a class that was challenging, or you’re eager to get ahead or add an extra course in, we have options for you!
All classes run in-person, Monday to Friday out of New Westminster Secondary School, in either a morning or afternoon timeslot.
Spaces are limited and will be assigned on a first come, first serve basis. As classes are full, that will be noted below. Classes may be cancelled if there is not sufficient interest.
Classes are free for most students (see note at the bottom of this page about fees for International Students).
*Daily attendance is mandatory (students who miss two classes will be automatically withdrawn from the class).
| Did you know? In addition to all our regular full-credit courses, we’re excited offer some shorter non-credit courses that may spark interest or support some earlier exposure to upcoming curriculum for students in middle and secondary schools. Whether that’s the Foundations of Literacy and Numeracy for students who are struggling with some of the basics, or any of the new courses designed to provide earlier exposure to upcoming courses and interests, find out more here: https://newwestschools.ca/programs-services/summer-learning/summer-learning-non-credit-short-courses/ |
