Toronto District School Board Adult Day Schools offer two programs for learners who want to earn high school credits or an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD): the Ed-Vance program for youth, eighteen to twenty, who want to finish high school and the Adult Program for adults over twenty one.

The four Ed-Vance programs are for students who have not completed high school, although it is recommended that students have at least 5 of 30 high school credits to be considered for this program. Students out of school for one term are usually motivated to return to school to recommit, but more and more students are coming directly from mainstream high schools directly into the Ed-Vance programs.

Fully funded by the Ontario government, the Ed-Vance programs offer many of the same supports as the mainstream schools. Supportive teachers give youth the extra support
