Night School

Final Exam Notice

Under the Ontario Ministry of Education policy for the 2026–2027 school year, most secondary courses require written final exams.

All students enrolled in online Night School courses, including synchronous and asynchronous courses, must write their final exams in person, except students enrolled in Locally Developed, Workplace and Open level courses. In-person final exams are mandatory for all other students, regardless of whether their regular classes are held online.

 

The following courses are exempt from mandatory written exam policy:

Grades 9 and 10 locally developed compulsory credit courses: (LDCC)

Grades 11 and 12 workplace preparation courses (E courses): MEL3E and MEL4E

Grades 11 and 12 open courses (O courses): OLC4O, GWL3O, HIP4O and CPC3O

 

For scheduled final exam dates, refer to the Night School Semester 1 Key Dates.

Cameras On During Remote Synchronous Learning
 
Students participating in remote synchronous learning through Continuing Education are expected to have their cameras on during instructional time. This requirement supports student engagement, accountability, and helps create a positive and interactive virtual classroom environment. Keeping cameras on allows educators to monitor participation, offer immediate feedback, and build a sense of community that reflects the in-person learning experience. This requirement is in alignment with the Virtual Secondary School protocol.

TDSB Night School Credit Courses

The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) offers Night School credit courses for high school students and adults working toward their Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD). Whether you want to earn a new credit or upgrade a previously completed course to improve your mark, Night School provides flexible learning options to help you reach your goals.

All students must meet the prerequisite requirements to enrol. Students and Parents/Guardians are strongly encouraged to consult with their day school Guidance Counsellor before selecting courses.

The Toronto District School Board reserves the right to cancel courses when necessary.

  • A list of cancelled courses will be posted on our website seven days before the registration deadline.
  • Students enrolled in cancelled courses will be notified by email. If an alternative course is available, students may choose to register for it.
  • Students are responsible for checking the website for course cancellation updates.

Night School runs for 15 weeks per semester, with two semesters offered each school year. Classes run twice a week from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

  • Semester 1: October – January
  • Semester 2: February – May/June

Remote Full Credit (Grades 9–12, Ages 14–20)

Remote Full Credit courses follow a synchronous learning model, with students attending scheduled online classes. Cameras must remain on during online classes.

Students may take up to two credit courses per semester: one on Mondays and Wednesdays and another on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students may also choose to take just one course per semester.

e-Credit Adult Ages 18+ (Asynchronous Learning Model)

Adults who are not enrolled in a regular day school or who attend an Adult Day School may register for one asynchronous credit course per semester.

e-Credit Adult courses follow an asynchronous learning model, allowing students to complete coursework independently rather than attending scheduled online classes.

EdVance students are not eligible to register for e-Credit Adult courses.
