Ontario Secondary School Diploma from either Kaweniio or their home secondary
school. ILC's outstanding credit and non-credit courses and educational
services enable students to earn a secondary school diploma or equivalent,
upgrade their skills, and achieve their academic and career goals.
The ILC's flexible and accessible courses allow students to pursue their
education, their way, anytime, anywhere.
Course Costs
Tuition for a full credit course is $300. Six Nations registered members are tuition free. A re-fundable book deposit of $20 is due upon registration. Registrations will not be accepted without payment.
Program Details
All classes/tutorials are three hours per week for three nights per week depending on the subject. All courses will run based on a minimum enrolment.
To Enrol in the Program
The NDAP is generously funded by Imperial Oil Ltd. through the SEED initiative. The Science Education and Employment Development (SEED) initiative is a partnership between Imperial Oil and Six Nations. A major focus for SEED is promoting science and math education and encouraging Six Nations members to consider careers in industry and technology. For more information, visit www.seedprogram.ca.
