Studying in an adult learning community is very different to life in a R-12 or 8-12 school. Students can study full-time or part-time during the day or in the evening. Evening classes (from 5:00pm onwards) are held once a week at the college. Timetabling in this way generally means that most students are not required to be at the College every day.
