BECAUSE YOU NEVER STOP LEARNING….

Delta Continuing Education has been part of the community for more than 50 years. We are a 4-season operation, meeting a wide range of educational needs and interests.

If you are seeking academic upgrading or if you know someone who needs to build their English literacy, we have classroom-based, individualized computer-assisted, and on-line learning options. Our academy programs, partnership with home-schooling families, and Language Challenge exams provide innovative alternatives for academic credit.

If you want to develop your workplace skills or pursue a personal interest, we have a range of courses to consider, including our Early Childhood Education program, which has operated since 1969, as well as first aid, photography, languages, vegetarian cooking, and more. And if you are a supporter of the arts, check out the upcoming performances at Ladner’s own Genesis Theatre.

All of these and more are in the pages that follow. Connect and learn with us this Fall

DELTA COMMUNITY COLLEGE, 11590 – 83rd Avenue, North

Delta

Our new, well-equipped centre provides quality educational

programs for adults:

• Adult Foundations

• High School Completion

• Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC)

High School Completion Structured Classes - DIAL

DELTA INDIVIDUALIZED ADULT LEARNING (DIAL) The DIAL program provides adult students with the opportunity to progress through one of several BC Ministry of Education approved courses available while having access to teacher instruction and guidance in a supportive and friendly classroom atmosphere. Although most courses contain an online/computer-assisted component, the DIAL program differs from distributed learning ( Delta Access) in that classes are conducted onsite; students are expected to attend regularly; a teacher supports and assesses student progress and courses must be completed in one semester.

Students who do not complete a course within the allotted time (one semester) will be considered to have “not successfully completed the course” and may re-register in the DIAL program the following semester and take the entire course again.

Individuals progress at different rates and so some students may complete a course before the end of the semester. English 10 or English Foundations 6/7 is required to register for a DIAL course.

It is the first year of the 20% classroom /shop component of becoming a journeyperson (work based training on the job is the other 80%). While most suitable for grade 12’s, grade 11’s and Grad’s to age 19 may apply. Students can earn credits for ‘level one’ of technical training, secondary graduation, and even Post-Secondary credits. That means they will have a significant head start - as well as gaining practical and in-demand skills. ‘Train in Trades’ programs are offered as partnerships between school districts and training providers, as well as our own Designated Trainer facilities. The District generally pays for the tuition costs with students being responsible for all other costs such as PPE, textbooks, and transportation. Students must follow an application process (due before spring break) and have the needed essential skills to be considered for a District Youth Train in Trades program. Application does not guarantee acceptance as seats may be limited and competitive.

Youth WORK in Trades (was SSA) Earn while you learn! Youth apprenticeships allow students age 15 to 19 the opportunity to begin any of the 100+ apprenticeships up to 3 yrs early, earning hours towards their trade as well as graduation credits. It is the beginning of training on the job which is typically 80% of becoming a journeyperson (classroom/shop training is the other 20%). Students must be hired (paid) and working under the direction of a Journey Person and the employer must agree to sponsor them with the ITA. Up to four grade 11/12 courses and a $1000 award are possible. This is a great start or continuation to Train in Trades (ACE IT) technical training.

INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE

DIPLOMA PROGRAMME INFORMATION

SEAQUAM SECONDARY

In September 2011, Seaquam Secondary introduced the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme as an alternative to Advanced Placement courses in grades 11 and 12. The IB Diploma is a prestigious international pre-university qualification and is recognized by universities and governments throughout the world.

All IB Diploma students take six subjects across the disciplines in a manner that assures both breadth and depth of study. The deliberate combination of breadth and depth in both academic and personal areas equips students with the skills and attitudes they require for higher education or employment, and engender international understanding and responsible citizenship.

HOMESTAY HOST FAMILY OPPORTUNITIES

The Delta School District International Student Program is seeking families in the Ladner, North Delta, and Tsawwassen areas who are interested in providing homestays for its international students. The District offers students from Asia, Europe, Mexico and South America the opportunity to study in its schools for periods of one month up to a full year. Students range from grades 5 to 12. Visiting teachers occasionally arrive for monthly study programs as well.

Delta residents interested in this opportunity must be committed to providing a safe, emotionally supportive environment for the student and be willing to take an active part in assisting the student to integrate into the community and school life. Host families will provide a private bedroom, all bedding and linens, three meals each day, a study table and lamp, and make arrangements for transportation to and from school, if required.
