Lifetime Learning Centre's Mission Statement
Lifetime Learning Centre provides a growth-focused, safe and supportive environment to empower adult and lifelong learners to achieve personal, academic and employment potential, including credit achievement, facilitated by Ontario Certified Teachers.
What Does This Program Offer?
The Lifetime Learning Centre allows adult students to attend school during the day. Students can attend a daily class and learn in a structured environment with the ability to talk with teachers and classmates on a daily basis. Adult students will be able to finish their High School diploma, improve marks for College, learn skills to improve their career, or learn new skills in a general interest program. Our quality programming is tuition-free, taught by Ontario certified teachers, and offered in a modern facility with up-to-date computer hardware and software.
A High School Diploma May Be Closer Than You Think
The Lifetime Learning Centre will work with students to create an custom plan to help them reach their goal. Students will come in for a Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) to learn if they have experience that can earn them more credits. All courses at the LLC earn credits towards your high school diploma.
Do I need to attend an information session?
Yes. The Lifetime Learning Centre offers a personalized, individualized support system to find the best possible options for our students. That means meeting each potential student before registration.
Who teaches the courses at the Lifetime Learning Centre?
Our Ontario Certified teachers understand and teach to a variety of different learning styles. We offer additional support through expert counseling, flexible programming including Cooperative Education and childcare at an onsite daycare. We offer specialized programs in computer software and Personal Support Workers in addition to courses in Math, Science, English and Social Sciences.
How can I get a copy of my transcript asap?
The Records and Archives Services page has been created to assist requesters on the process to follow in accessing a variety of documents. These requests can be made by current students, students who have been out of school for LESS THAN FIVE YEARS, and for INACTIVE students that have been out of school for FIVE YEARS OR MORE.
What is the history behind the Lifetime Learning Centre?
Lifetime Learning Centre had its humble beginnings in two classrooms at the St. Catharines Collegiate in 1975. With a staff of very dedicated teachers, the program grew in size and popularity and is now housed in an all-adult facility which was opened in 1995.
By providing academic upgrading and skill based computer training/retraining programs, the District School Board of Niagara continues to make a significant contribution to the human resource development and economic growth of its community. Boasting current software and up-to-date computer labs as well as classrooms for academic courses, the Centre has an annual enrollment of over 400 students – proof that learning is a lifetime venture!
