Challenge Centre
The Challenge Centre is a new opportunity for students who are enrolled in a regular day school program in an Ontario secondary school, to challenge a course for credit. The challenge process recognizes knowledge and skills that students have acquired outside of secondary school. The prior learning is assessed and evaluated to determine whether the student has met the provincial course expectations.

• mature students(age 18 and over) in the first year of their return to school
What Credits May be Challenged?
