Evening & Weekend High School Courses

Fall & Winter

Fall 2025/Winter 2026 is open to:

Students who are under 20 years old on September 1, 2025

FREE TUITION

  • Program fee: $75 non-refundable

Criteria:

  • Open to current Edmonton Public School students, or students whose last school attended was an Edmonton Public School.
  • As Metro Evening/Weekend courses are supplementary to regular daytime EPSB programming, there are restrictions on how many courses a student can take with Metro. These restrictions help us support many students throughout the Division:
    • Students can take one class each semester: one from Q1 or Q2 or S1; then one from Q3 or Q4 or S2. For instance, it is possible to take a S1 and Q3 class, but not a Q1 and Q2 class (same semester).
      • If you withdraw after a class has begun, you may not take another class this semester.
    • Students cannot repeat a course within the school year. For instance, if you take Math 30-1 with Metro in Q2, you cannot access that class again with Metro this school year.
      • If you withdraw after a class has begun, you may not take the same course this school year.
    If you need more courses than what Metro allows, or to discuss your graduation plan, please speak with your primary high school to coordinate access to daytime programming.
  • All students are responsible for ensuring they are eligible for the course in which they register. Students who are not eligible because of missing prerequisite or any of the above restrictions will be removed from the course and forfeit the (non-refundable) $75 program fee.
