Langley Education Centre (LEC) is a public high school in Langley, British Columbia, part of School District 35 Langley.

Contents

LEC offers secondary school (Gr. 10–12) options for teens and adults to continue and complete a secondary education or upgrade their courses. The courses are offered one of two ways:

  1. Structured, semester and blended classes meeting once or twice a week in either the morning, afternoon or evening for two to three hour periods, providing flexibility for students as to when they attend. Registration happens at the beginning of each semester in August/September, and January/February.
  2. On-site and Online Directed Learning classes (Langley Online and Distributed Learning) that allow continuous intake throughout the year and allows students to work at their own pace. Students can either attend their tutorial session once a week to work with their teacher, or complete courses online, working in a web-based environment.

History

Established in 1986, LEC was founded as an alternative secondary school located in commercial space at Sundel Square in the City of Langley, British Columbia (20216 Fraser Highway, Langley, BC). In November 2006, the Board of Education decided to move LEC from its original location to its new home on a shared campus with Langley Secondary School. The decision came as the Board of Education was facing budgetary constraints and underutilized facilities and LEC was facing increasingly inadequate and aging commercial space. The move was completed in February 2008 at a cost of $1.4 million. The new shared campus at Langley Secondary School provided LEC with a 900 square metre, state-of-the-art facility which includes eight classrooms: three shared with LSS, two located with the LEC office in the main building, and three in new modulars linked to the main building by covered walkways. In addition, a child minding facility on the premises. [1]
