About APNLC
Alexandra Park Neighbourhood Learning Centre is an adult literacy centre located in downtown Toronto. We are a non-profit, community-based organization, proudly serving our community in Alexandra Park for over forty years.
We offer learner-centred adult education classes that focus on the literacy needs of the learners. Classes are designed to offer students the opportunity to upgrade their literacy skills in order to prepare for college, employment, or apprenticeship programs.
Learners also join our classes for their own independent enjoyment. Our programs are free, and we offer a variety of supports to assist learners in attending our classes.
What is Literacy?
Having adequate literacy skills means being able to understand, evaluate, use and engage with written texts.
It also means being able to participate in society, achieve your goals, and develop your knowledge and potential.
