“It’s never too late to go back to school. My decision to go back to school and complete my diploma was not an easy one. The fear and doubt that I had was very negative towards myself. Since enrolling at the Lakehead Adult Education Centre, my self-confidence has increased significantly. The subjects that gave me the most anxiety, Math and English, are now my two favourite subjects. The teachers are amazing, and their guidance and support has made my learning experience a memorable one. To anyone who feels that they are too old to go back to school, I can say without a doubt, “Don’t doubt yourself, take a chance and you will love it!”

“I didn’t know what to expect when I came to class, and I am happy I came. I have learnt things I never knew and being in class made it easier to understand. Participating in the classroom we were able to have discussions with everyone and participating was fun. Personally, I found that you speak up and participate more when you’re in class. I look forward to the new year and to hopefully finishing for my diploma.”

“Being a distance education student with LAEC has been a wonderful experience for me to get my diploma. It was scary at first going back to high school. I didn’t know if I would be able to achieve the courses. The teachers are very helpful and also engaging with the students. They explain the assignments in simple ways, in both English and Math subjects. In self-study courses there is always help from the teacher for the course you’re taking. Learning online helps when you have a busy life schedule . It’s never too late to get your grade 12 diploma. I highly recommend taking your high school courses with LAEC.”
