Our goals at LLC are to promote individual achievement, enhance personal abilities, and nurture traditional values. If you are unemployed or underemployed, then let us help. We currently offer Adult Basic Education, and upgrading for post-secondary training. Be an adult grad or get ready for college in as little as five months!

At LLC, we offer continuous enrollment in to our program that is individualized with a flexible timetable and focused learning. Courses are self-paced and emphasize mastery learning. A certified instructor oversees delivery of the B.C. curriculum. Evening sessions and tutoring are available. We can also help students apply for a daycare space and a child care subsidy.

An adult graduation certificate is not a G.E.D. Students at LLC who are working towards graduation take these classes: English 12 or Communications 12, Math 11, First Nations 12 and two more grade 12 electives. Students take one course at a time and move on to the next when they are finished. Students who attend LLC full-time and use their time wisely can complete a course in as little as one month. Students can also upgrade Communications 12 to English 12 and Math 11e to 11p for admission to a post-secondary institution. There are no tuition or student fees charged for students taking B.C. curriculum courses for ABE or upgrading.
