City Adult Learning Center

Been a student at CALC is the greatest experience i have ever had. Excellent teachers with higher qualifications and caring minds. They always give us the courage to take action and move forward to succeed in life.Thanks to the administration of the school board.

One of the unique school for new comers adults who chase new careers.

Bad parking facility. Every quad, students need to get parking permit early morning at 3:30am with a long line. Although there are many parking space in the parking lot, you will get tickets for not having the permit. Giving students with cars unnecessary hard time…. Went to Yorkdale adul high school, and they have great parking faculty with first come first serve basis every day. In Etobicoke, they have great parking facilities too…..

It was an excellent place to learn and they have amazing service and stuff to help studentsI prefer to everyone would like to studyGo this school

Bad parking. They doing it on purpose. The parking is empty and the teacher You who control the parking didn’t give parking permits. So every day people get tickets no one have parking pass.

I had only one or two good teachers. Other teachers talk down to students and put them down when they were trying. Which is really sad to see. When you attend here you might feel discouraged, I've seen a lot of people who have gotten depressed and dropped out of school after attending here. I wish there was a good adult school for people to go to and actually feel like they can do well. The teachers, principle, and vice principle need to understand is most people who attend adult are looking for another chance in life to have a better future. Instead of discouraging students from trying, try to encourage them. I do agree with a lot of people on here, they do put you in a lower grade (even if you have taken that level in high school before). You might end up having to go here because a lot of the other schools don't have the same courses, as they do here.If you do decide to go here, the best thing to do is blend in with the crowd and do the best you could do. Try to get out fast as you can because if you do become a victim of being bullied by the people who work here, it can get hard to finish. Also don't rely on the teacher when it comes to tests because on tests they won’t fully say what is really on the test, this could really mess you up. If a teacher is wrong about something they said in a discussion, sometimes it’s best not to correct them because they use that against you and make the rest of the time they have you the worst.I have noticed that the people who keep to themselves are treated better than those who have friends in the class or seem confident in themselves. If you are born in Canada or just have been in school here they may treat you worse than any other students. Sometimes if you are a female and you like to look good…some of the female teachers may give you dirty looks…which i find immature. Pretty much don’t stand out, don’t participate too much, try to study alone. Sounds pretty depressing...I’ve seen it happen to many of my friends.Other cons:- If you dress differently, a lot of students may laugh at you (it’s not the school’s fault, it’s something to keep in mind)- Another point about some teachers and the vice principle they don't really care about your success or anything really. It’s not always something you see in their behaviour because they might just tell you that to your faceAnother point about the teachers and the vice principle, they are very immature, if you can’t tell already from my review.you can’t really make a complaint about a teacher whether their teaching is bad or the way they treat you- Favouritism is much worse at this school than any other school I've been to. Some teacher will just boost some of the students mark if they really like you like give extra marks. While the other students they might drop your mark or ask you not to participate in class.Pros:- They have good cafeteria food, the price ranges from about $6 and lower (I think so)- You do meet a lot of amazing students- There are clubs you can join like lgbtq club, business club, yoga, i think they have sports clubs…They have co-op- They have elevators- They have many different courses (business courses, accounting, culinary..)there are a few good teachers which is nice (very little though)the way to make a change is to speak in volume, when a group of students say there is a problem that’s how you can make a change. The only problem with this is a lot people are afraid to speak up because they are worried about their future and just want to get out adult school. The more student get together, the more attention it will get like a protest.Some other info about this school:- Each course goes by fast like about 2 months and halfI hope you find this review helpful.

I very appreciate all my teachers here, they work hard to help me earn my real education. I graduated from CALC few years ago , I learn writing skills from here, teachers are very good at teach writing skills. All in all, Thank teachers very much grow up with me !

They helped me out when I needed them. Was bit of a drive for me but was worth is. Glad the city funds programs that look out for young people and gives everyone an equal chance.
