Part-Time Studies
Study with us while you stay enrolled at your home school. We offer day, evening, online, and one-on-one scheduling, taught by the same teachers who lead our full-time program.
A Single-Course Pathway
Part-time at Vaughan College is for the student whose home school can’t offer the course they need, or can’t offer it on a schedule that fits. We accept students enrolled at any other Ontario secondary school and report finished credits back to their school of record, the credit lands on their transcript exactly as if it were earned in the day program.
The format is up to the student. Day classes run alongside full-time students. Evening sessions run twice weekly from 3:30 to 6:00 pm. Online options follow the same syllabus with live virtual instruction, and private or semi-private scheduling pairs a student with a teacher one-on-one or in a table of four.
Most part-time students fall into one of three groups: upgrading a Grade 11 or 12 mark for university admission, completing a missing prerequisite, or taking a course in advance of their home school’s schedule.
In-class learning, from anywhere
Some of our online courses run alongside a live class in our Vaughan classroom, and which ones changes each semester. When a course offers it, you’ll see a Live now tag on the course or a Hybrid toggle on its page. Turn it on and you can join the real in-person lesson through Google Classroom instead of a separate online-only section, with the same teacher as it happens. Add it when you enrol or anytime after; in-person students can join the same way on the days they study from home.
How Part-Time Works
There is no application fee to study part-time. Tell us the credit you need and the format that fits your week, and we’ll get you enrolled.
From a Current Student
Many of our part-time students keep coming back. One course often turns into a second, then a summer intensive, then a regular Tuesday-evening rhythm, because the work gets done here.
Vaughan College is a school all about academics. I go to classes each day, looking forward to learning.

Most-Requested Courses
The Grade 11 and 12 university-preparation credits most commonly retaken or completed at Vaughan College alongside a home-school enrollment.
This course builds on students’ previous experience with functions and their developing understanding of rates of change. Students will solve problems involving geometric and algebraic representations of vectors and representations of lines and planes in threedimensional space; broaden their understanding of rates of change to include the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions; and apply these concepts and skills to the modelling of real-world relationships. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. This course is intended for students who choose to pursue careers in fields such as science, engineering, economics, and some areas of business, including those students who will be required to take a university-level calculus, linear algebra, or physics course. Note: The new Advanced Functions course (MHF4U) must be taken prior to or concurrently with Calculus and Vectors (MCV4U).

This course emphasizes the consolidation of the literacy, communication, and critical and creative thinking skills necessary for success in academic and daily life. Students will analyse a range of challenging literary texts from various periods, countries, and cultures; interpret and evaluate informational and graphic texts; and create oral, written, and media texts in a variety of forms. An important focus will be on using academic language coherently and confidently, selecting the reading strategies best suited to particular texts and particular purposes for reading, and developing greater control in writing. The course is intended to prepare students for university, college, or the workplace.

This course broadens students’ understanding of mathematics as it relates to managing data. Students will apply methods for organizing and analysing large amounts of information; solve problems involving probability and statistics; and carry out a culminating investigation that integrates statistical concepts and skills. Students will also refine their use of the mathematical processes necessary for success in senior mathematics. Students planning to enter university programs in business, the social sciences, and the humanities will find this course of particular interest.
