School Within A College (SWAC)

The School Within a College program offers a supportive framework where students can earn both secondary and college credits simultaneously. The program focuses on re-engaging students in their education through experiential learning and tailored support. It provides a unique opportunity to experience college life while working towards high school graduation, creating a bridge between secondary education and post-secondary pathways.
 
Our School Within a College (SWAC) program is hosted by Fanshawe College London. 
 
Students in the SWAC program will attend the Fanshawe College main campus (London) five days per week, and will participate in the dual credit day away program within their week at the college. All materials required for the dual credits taken through SWAC will be provided to the student by the college.
 
In order to be enrolled in the SWAC program students must be referred by their home school and meet the criteria listed below:
  • Are ages 17-19
  • Are not on track to graduate
  • Have completed 20+ credits, ideally 22 credits earned
  • Have the potential to succeed in college
