Admissions Policies

Admissions

Applications for admission are taken at any time of the year. The Adult High School offers two academic pathways for learners to complete their high school education. Learners who are 18 years of age and have been out of school a minimum period of one year will take the pathway of the Nova Scotia Public School High School Diploma. Learners who are 19 years of age and over who have been out of school a minimum period of one year are eligible for the Nova Scotia High School Graduation Diploma for Adults. Exceptions to the minimum one year period are considered where special circumstances exist. All applicants will be asked to complete an application form, provide proof of identification and participate in a personal interview and individual assessment. The School year is divided into two semesters. The first semester is from September to January and second semester is February to June. Full time students can earn up to 4 credits within a single semester. Within the parameters of existing schedules, a program will be developed to address the needs of each individual student.
