What is TASS?

Our TASS (Teacher Assisted Self-Study) program provides opportunities for any adult student interested in working on credits to obtain their high school diploma or to upgrade credits for educational or work opportunities. TASS is a correspondence based program offering Gr 11 and 12 courses at the Workplace, College and University pathways. Teacher support for students is available each Wednesday evening. TASS can also support students in earning credits toward their OSSD through the Mature PLAR process.
