Adult Basic Education (ABE) helps you prepare for college, your career and life by offering high school level courses and support for you to learn. Our classrooms are relaxed and respectful, and our instructors are committed to your success. Books are supplied and tuition is free. ABE is taught at various levels:
ABE fundamental: These courses are designed to help adults with upgrading to the end of Grade nine. Students work on independent programs and may choose the subject area and hours per week of class.
Instruction is available in reading, writing, spelling, science, computer skills and mathematics.
ABE Intermediate: The courses at this level help adults upgrade to Grade 10 equivalence. Instruction is available in English, mathematics, sciences, computer studies and social studies. Students may choose to take some or all of the subjects.
ABE Advanced: The courses are roughly equivalent to the Grade 11 level. Completing this level fulfills the requirements for entry to many trades and other college programs. Mathematics, sciences, computer studies and English courses are available at most centres.
