Post-Secondary Education and Training Opportunities at Home

The Ts̓zil Learning Centre provides excellent learning opportunities for the Líl̓wat Nation and neighbouring communities. Ts̓zil offers a variety of academic upgrading, post-secondary academic, and training opportunities for adult learners 18 and older, including trades training and, as funding permits, career certification and university credit courses.

The Indigenous Adult and Higher Learning Association (IAHLA) is the representative organization for a wide variety of Aboriginal controlled adult and post-secondary educational institutes across British Columbia. The community-based institutes offer a broad spectrum of courses and programs that include college and university programs leading to certificates, diplomas, and degrees; Adult Basic Education leading to the Adult Dogwood Diploma for secondary school completion; language instruction; occupation specific training and upgrading; and a broad spectrum of lifespan learning programs that support Aboriginal people, communities, languages, and cultures.

With a learning philosophy based in Líl̓wat cultural renewal, holistic learning, and personal growth, Ts̓zil Learning Centre provides an environment where all students can feel comfortable, safe and supported. The new $8.1 million facility opened in fall 2018, replacing the collection of aging portables that had housed the school since the early ’90s.

Non-First Nations students are welcome to take courses at Ts̓zil Learning Centre. The centre advertises its offerings in advance of every semester.
