Continuing and Adult Education
The Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) provides continuing and adult education programs in London, Ontario, aimed at supporting lifelong learning, skill development, and secondary school completion for adults aged 18 and older. These initiatives are governed by Ontario Ministry of Education policies and focus on non-traditional learners, including those seeking credit recovery or career advancement, with an emphasis on accessibility for residents of Middlesex, Oxford, and Elgin counties.[12][13] Key sites for TVDSB continuing education in London include the G.A. Wheable Centre at 70 Jacqueline Street, which serves as the primary hub for adult day school and alternative education programs, and the Thames Valley Alternative Secondary School, also located at the same address. Additional programs, such as English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, are offered at various community locations including Banting Annex, East Carling Public School, Glen Cairn Public School, and the South London Neighbourhood Resource Centre. While Blossom Park Alternative Education operates under TVDSB, it is based in Woodstock and primarily handles diploma pickups rather than full programming in London.[13][14][15] TVDSB's offerings encompass high school credit recovery through the Adult Day School, where learners can complete Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) requirements via in-school or online courses in subjects like English, mathematics, and literacy/numeracy upgrading (e.g., OLC4O and MTH1W). For the 2025-2026 school year, in-school sessions at the G.A. Wheable Centre run Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m., with online options available Wednesday and Friday; Term 2 spans November 24, 2025, to January 30, 2026, and registration for Term 4 opens March 25, 2026. Eligibility requires participants to be at least 18 years old by the term start, not currently enrolled in a secondary day school, and residents of the specified counties, with credits transferable to TVDSB secondary schools for ongoing diploma pursuits.[13][16] Dual credit programs, in partnership with Fanshawe College, allow adult learners to earn both OSSD credits and college-level qualifications simultaneously; the Adult Dual Credit Program for fall 2025 begins September 3 at Fanshawe's London campus, ending December 3, with orientation on August 25, and targets non-graduates aged 21 or older who have completed senior-level courses. The Personal Support Worker (PSW) training, a cooperative education initiative at the G.A. Wheable Centre, includes 330 hours of classroom theory, lab practice, and clinical placement to earn certification; the fall 2025 cohort is full, with spring 2026 applications opening in fall 2025 and requiring an information session and assessment for eligibility.[17][18][19] In terms of policy and support, TVDSB administers these programs to promote equity in adult education, including immigrant services through ESL and Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) classes funded by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, with language assessments handled by the London Cross Cultural Learner Centre (LCLC). Partnerships with Fanshawe College extend beyond dual credits to shared resources for career-oriented training, while free childcare for newcomer children is available during LINC sessions at sites like the G.A. Wheable Centre. Approximately 18,000 adults benefit annually from TVDSB's broader adult education network, underscoring its role in community skill upgrading.[20][12][21]English Catholic Schools

As of November 2025, the LDCSB supports approximately 28,000 students region-wide, fostering spiritual growth through daily prayer, sacramental preparation (e.g., Reconciliation and First Eucharist in Grades 2-3), and community service projects.

This program emphasizes personalized, flexible learning opportunities tailored to adult learners seeking to upgrade skills, complete high school credentials, or prepare for further education and employment, all within the context of the board's Catholic educational framework.[56][57] Key offerings include Adult Credit courses designed for individuals pursuing an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), with a focus on core subjects such as English, mathematics, science, and social sciences. These courses support high school completion and credit recovery for adults, available in formats like blended learning, teacher-assisted instruction, self-study, and correspondence options to accommodate diverse schedules.

Elementary Schools
The Conseil scolaire Viamonde (CSV) operates three elementary schools in London, Ontario, providing secular French-first-language education from Junior Kindergarten (JK) through Grade 6. These schools deliver the Ontario curriculum with French as the primary language of instruction, emphasizing bilingualism, cultural heritage, and inclusive learning environments for Francophone and French-immersion students. CSV's approach focuses on academic excellence, Franco-Ontarian identity, and community engagement without religious affiliation.[62] Activities promote French language proficiency through subjects taught in French, including mathematics, science, and social studies, while fostering cultural awareness via events like La Semaine de la francophonie. Programs support cognitive development in bilingual settings and offer extracurriculars in arts, sports, and technology. By Grade 6, students achieve foundational fluency in French reading, writing, and communication, aligned with provincial standards.[62]| School Name | Address | Key Features |

French Catholic Schools
Elementary Schools
The Conseil scolaire catholique Providence (CSCP) operates three elementary schools in London, Ontario, serving students from Junior Kindergarten (JK) through Grade 8 in a French-language Catholic environment. These institutions emphasize full immersion in French as the language of instruction, aligned with the Ontario curriculum, while integrating Catholic teachings to nurture spiritual growth alongside academic development.[72] The schools foster a sense of community for Francophone Catholic families, drawing on the board's consolidated mission to provide quality education that promotes Catholic faith, French language proficiency, and educational excellence.[73] CSCP's elementary approach combines Catholic values—such as compassion, justice, and stewardship—with French language immersion and cultural heritage, creating a holistic learning experience from early childhood. Daily activities include pastoral animation, where faith is woven into routines through prayer, liturgical celebrations, and service projects that reflect Gospel teachings. French immersion ensures students engage with subjects like mathematics, science, and social studies primarily in French, while preserving and celebrating Franco-Ontarian culture through events like La Semaine de la francophonie and heritage storytelling. This bilingual foundation supports cognitive benefits, including enhanced problem-solving skills, as students navigate both languages in a faith-centered setting.[72][74] Religious milestones for primary students typically include preparation for the sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist in Grades 2 and 3, marking key steps in their faith journey and often celebrated communally with family and parish involvement. Linguistically, the program targets foundational proficiency by Grade 3, such as basic reading and writing in French, progressing to conversational fluency and comprehension of complex texts by Grade 8, in line with Ontario's French-language education expectations. These milestones are supported by tailored assessments and enrichment activities to ensure equitable progress.[75]| School Name | Address | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| École élémentaire catholique Frère-André | 400 Base Line Rd W, London, ON N6J 1W1 | Faith-integrated French immersion from JK-8; focuses on inclusive community building and cultural events.[76] |

Students engage with subjects in French, celebrating Franco-Ontarian culture through events and activities.

Private Schools
Elementary and Middle Schools
Private elementary and middle schools in London, Ontario, provide diverse educational options outside the public and Catholic boards, emphasizing alternative pedagogies such as Montessori and Waldorf approaches to foster individualized development from junior kindergarten (JK) through grade 8. Unlike the larger public elementary system, which serves over 20,000 students in London through the Thames Valley District School Board, these private options cater to smaller cohorts, often with enrollment caps around 100-200 students to maintain intimate learning environments.[9] Alternative pedagogies in London's independent schools highlight child-centered methods, including Waldorf education's use of storytelling to engage imagination and develop cognitive, emotional, and physical capacities through rhythmic, arts-integrated lessons without early emphasis on technology or grades. Montessori programs, meanwhile, promote self-directed learning via prepared environments that encourage independence, hands-on exploration, and peer collaboration, allowing students to progress at their own pace under trained guides. Many of these schools hold accreditations from bodies like the Canadian Association of Independent Schools or international Montessori/Waldorf associations, with enrollment typically limited to 15-25 students per class to support personalized instruction; for instance, Waldorf programs often cap early years classes at 20 to preserve developmental focus.[82][83][84]| School Name | Address | Grades | Philosophy | Tuition Range (2025-2026) | Enrollment/Accreditation Notes |
