About:  

The Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board, through St. Charles Adult and Continuing Education, welcomes you to Grade 9. As a secondary student you will have new and exciting times at high school, full of opportunities and experiences.

Each of the Catholic Secondary Schools are now preparing for “Passport to Grade 9”. This program represents the HWCDSB commitment to provide students with the knowledge and skills to attain success in both their learning and growth in all aspects of life and faith.

The program’s emphasis is on providing a snapshot of the Grade 9 secondary experience by orienting, supporting and meeting the needs of incoming students. It is facilitated by fully qualified teachers and focuses on preparing the students for the major differences between their elementary experience and their upcoming secondary school journey.
