Secondary/Post Secondary
Lifelong Learning Series
In this competitive marketplace basic education has become the norm. It is never too late to achieve your high school diploma (OSSD) or the high school equivalency (GED).
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD):
If you are missing just a few high school credits or many, it is worth exploring the options available for completing them. We work closely with a local school board to facilitate earning the final credits. We provide one-on-one coaching to help you achieve this goal.
The high school equivalency test (GED - General Education Development):
“Earning your Ontario High School Equivalency Certificate through the GED® test could be your first step toward changing your life for the better. Successful GED® graduates benefit from increased earnings, improved job security, enhanced career opportunities, boosted self-confidence, expanded options for skills development, apprenticeships, or college or university programs.” www.ilc.org
The GED Test is held at our location a few times a year. The testing takes place over two days and the content tests the ability to reason, put together information, and draw conclusions. It encompasses five subjects and includes one hand-written essay. We provide a comprehensive preparation course to get you ready to take on this challenging test.

“Over the years I have tried many times to complete my high school. Nothing worked. I loved coming to Literacy Alliance of West Nipissing. The team is very caring and
supportive. They let me decide how I wanted to learn. They kept encouraging me and when life seemed too difficult they helped me get through things. I have graduated, and I am so happy.”
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
