Frontier College is a Canada-wide, volunteer-based, literacy organization.
We teach people to read and write and we nurture an environment favorable to lifelong learning. Since 1899, we have been reaching out to people wherever they are and responding to their particular learning needs. We believe in literacy as a right and we work to achieve literacy for all.
Everyone can learn and everyone has a right to literacy.
We go where people are, rather than expecting them to come to us.
We value innovation and encourage people to bring us new ideas about learning.
Students decide what they want to learn and how they want to learn it. Tutors help them do this.
We are committed to working with people who have been rejected or not given adequate learning opportunities elsewhere.
