"This school allows you to take the responsibility for your own education and gives you what you need to succeed. The result is, if we do the work, we will reap the rewards." -- Maria |

| "Five months ago, I couldn't add or subtract. I've done 11 years of Math in 5 months." |
| "When I first started I doubted my ability to succeed...Now that I have shown myself that I can do it, my confidence level is much higher." |
| "The atmosphere has got to be [the best thing about Continuing Ed]! It starts right when you walk in, the 'hello' from the office, when you sign in, and even when you walk to a table." |
| "I feel like the people that are here are a small community. There is a sense of comradeship here -- everyone is working toward the same sort of thing." |
| "I feel like this is the only place for me to go to be able to graduate." |
| "I haven't had these kind of good grades in my life!" |
| "Going back to school has given me purpose and the strength and confidence to take a new direction in my life." |
| "I now realize I like learning." |
 |
"When I decided to return to school, I didn't think about whether it would be a hard or easy thing to do, I was very nervous, but I knew that at that point in my life going back to school to finish my education was a |
| must. I wanted to be self-sufficient and no longer depend on the government for funding each month. I knew the only way I was going to be able to support myself was if I finished my high school education. Upon enrollment at Continuing Education I found the staff and fellow students to be very supportive and helpful. The atmosphere at the Continuing Education Centre is one of relaxation and camaraderie. The students are able to learn at their own speed which is very beneficial. I look forward to graduating in June of this year after which I will continue on with my post-secondary education." -- Liana |
"Continuing Ed...enables you to work or keep up with your family life and activities. You can take a break when you are stressed or change subjects and start something new. When you don't understand, the |
 |
teachers are patient and work with you until you do. The best part for me is being able to keep my family and life together, and get my education at the same time." -- Tracey
