The mission of Hastings Education Centre is to provide a safe, supportive learning environment within a diverse school community. The centre fosters self-esteem, cooperation, and mutual respect; graduating responsible citizens with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to fulfill their potential for lifelong success.
Towards this end, HEC employees provide:
- A community environment, which acknowledges, as equals, adult students seeking learning opportunities and supports learners towards the fulfillment of their individual learning goals.
- A friendly, safe, supportive, learning environment.
- Opportunities for students to integrate their learning and acquired skills with events and programs based in the wider community, encouraging the further development of social and cultural capital.
- Advocacy for adult learners

School Details
Hastings Education Centre (HEC) offers flexible programs that allow students to pursue their academic goals in a variety of ways. Learners range from as young as 16 to adults of any age and reflect many different language groups and ethnicities.
They can choose from scheduled classroom courses, self-paced and WEB-based courses to accomplish their education goals. The adult atmosphere encourages students to have a say in the way they learn and to include their life experiences in their education.
We also offer Fresh Start programs, Junior and Senior, for students 16 to 19 in grades 10 to 12 who work towards graduation in a supportive, alternative learning environment.
The Centre is part of the Britannia community site and is conveniently located above the Britannia Public Library on the #20 bus route.
In seeking ways to strengthen ties within the community, we have developed relationships with employment training programs, civic planning groups, literacy providers, post-secondary agencies and other community members.
