St. Patrick, our mission is to personalize adult education as we believe education can be the pathway to a brighter future. We strive to meet the needs of adults in our community with high-quality and varied program options throughout our community.

In addition to adult education, St. Patrick offers some programs for elementary and secondary students. At a glance, we offer programs in:

• Adult Credit: Courses designed for adult learners who want to complete their high school diploma

• English as a Second Language (ESL): Classes for non-English speaking individuals, designed to provide life and work skills, prepare students for citizenship, assist work towards high school diploma, and prepare for college

• Essential Skills Training: Non-credit program with courses for adults who wish to update their skills for employment, education and training with a focus on completing your high school diploma 

• Literacy & Numeracy for Youth: Programs designed to assist students in grades 7-10 who struggle in the various math strands as well as reading, writing and discussion skills

• International Languages Programs: Non-credit language classes available to elementary students *credit classes in some languages for secondary students

St. Patrick recognizes that adult learners have a variety of goals: achieving a post-secondary pathway, earning high school credits, improving literacy and numeracy skills, academic upgrading, learning English as a Second Language and more. To get there, our guidance department is here to help.
