South Hill Youth Program

Program Description: 

This program provides students who have left secondary school with opportunities for individualized, self-paced learning in a structured yet flexible program. There is a strong emphasis on personal responsibility, respect and a shared “social contract” of beliefs and agreements.  The program operates on a semester system from mid September to January and February to June.  The hours of operation are Monday through Thursday, 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

Student Profile:

The South Hill Youth Program is for youth aged 16-18 who:

• were not successful in the regular or alternative secondary school due to attendance, lifestyle or family issues;
• are working at or above a Grade 10 level; 
• are 16 years of age as of July 1^st of the current school year.

Students whose educational background requires specialized assistance are not suitable for the program as support services available through the K-12 system are not available in Adult Education programs.

Academic Goal:

Students work towards high school completion.  Courses include core grade 10 to 12 subjects and a variety of electives. 

Application Process:

To register, all potential students are required to phone and make an appointment with an Academic Youth Program Advisor.  The Academic Advisor will help develop a Graduation Plan with you.  Students are asked to bring all high school records (within 3 years), citizenship information that shows you are a landed immigrant or a Canadian citizen and photo ID to the appointment.  If you do not have proper school records (within the last 3 years) at a Canadian high school, they you will be required to write an assessment to determine your academic level.
