 Edmonton
Catholic Schools, through the Department of Alternative & Adult Education Services, 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.
Alternative & Adult Education Services 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.
