Virtual Night School
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 a great opportunity for students to upgrade courses or to take courses that are not available in their home school, as well as for adult learners working towards their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or upgrading their courses. Please visit the Night School website for more information, including course offerings.
