Anglophone Program.

The Academic Upgrading Program provides training in English, maths, sciences, computer skills, and study skills. It offers LBS Levels 3 (limited), 4, 5, and OBS IV.

It is especially appropriate for learners who:
(a) have not completed high school,
(b) completed high school some time ago and need to review,
(c) need specific grade equivalent subjects to prepare for further training.

Learners should be mature students, 19 years of age or older; however, younger learners may be accepted in special circumstances. Although the primary focus is on preparation for post-secondary, skills or trades training, learners also go directly to employment.

This program is designed for adult learners 19 years of age or older (some exceptions apply). The program offers fundamental numeracy and literacy training, focusing on LBS Levels 1 to 3, although training may extend to LBS 5 in some circumstances.
Learners may choose to join small scheduled classes or work with a volunteer tutor at convenient times and places anywhere on Manitoulin.
