Serving Adults

Edmonton Catholic Schools, through the Department of Learning Services - Enhancement, serves our community by providing learning opportunities to clients of all ages. We provide our students with alternative educational opportunities directed at meeting individual student needs and circumstances. The department serves as a vehicle to facilitate new directions. It acts as a bridge between basic education and lifelong learning.

Learning Services - Enhancement strives to build partnerships with other providers to best serve the adult student. To that end, we have partnerships with Norwood Capital Care, Norquest Community College, Association of Alberta Adult Day Support Programs, Habitat for Humanity, K-Bro Linen Supplies, All Weather Windows and Kulhmann Market Garden and Greenhouses.
