Program
The ILC is a drop-in learning center for youth aged 16-21 who are looking for an alternative to the regular school system. Our students work independently in a self-paced learning environment with opportunities for individual support from teachers. Students work towards graduation, either with a B.C. Dogwood or Adult Graduation Certificate. The B.C. Dogwood Certificate requires a minimum of 80 course credits and an Adult Graduation requires a minimum of 20 credits.
The ILC offers flexible hours for students who may have full time employment and/or family commitments that prevent them from having a set timetable. Our hours of operation for students are 9:00 am to 3:00pm on Mondays and Fridays, and from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm on Tuesdays to Thursdays.
We offer core subjects grades 10 through 12, a variety of electives, and cultural/ experiential/ land-based educational opportunities. Students are able to cross enrol with other Yukon high schools, as well as access distance learning through the Aurora Virtual School, which is based out of the same building as the ILC.
In order to graduate on the 2018 Graduation Program, students must write the grade 10 Graduation Numeracy Assessment (GNA) and the Graduation Literacy Assessment (GLA). This school year (2022-2023), students in grade 10 must write the grade 10 GLA, and this year, the grade 12 GLA will be postponed. These assessments are not connected to any course grades, and are marked on a scale on 1-4. Students have the option of writing these assessments three times, before graduation.
Vision
Because students learn at different rates and in different ways, the Individual Learning Centre offers a multitude of choice, through self - paced, continuous learning in a safe and respectful environment, with opportunities for graduation, lifelong learning, and good citizenship.
