Night School
We run late-afternoon and evening classes from 3:30 to 6:00 pm, twice weekly, Monday through Friday. The same teachers and the same syllabus as the day program, scheduled around the rest of your week.
An Evening Schedule
Evening classes at Vaughan College run from three-thirty to six in the afternoon, twice a week, Monday through Friday, at tables of eight to ten students. Our Ontario-certified subject teachers lead them, and your child earns the same recognized OSSD credit they would in the day program, on a schedule that fits around school, work, family, or another course load.
Most night-school students fall into one of three groups: students at another school catching up on a credit they missed, working students returning to finish an OSSD, and university-bound students upgrading a Grade 11 or 12 mark that needs to come up before applications close. Enrollment is open year-round, so your child doesn’t have to wait for a September start to begin.
Classes are offered in person at the Woodbridge campus, fully online, or on a private or semi-private basis with a teacher one-on-one or in a table of four. Alternate schedules can be arranged for students whose other commitments don’t fit the standard two-evening week.

From a Current Student
Our night-school students are here because they want to be; nobody is assigned an evening credit. You can feel that in the rooms.
This school gives me everything I need to do well academically, and I will be one of only students that look forward to coming to school each day.
