Both full-time and part-time programming is available, however, the classes are discontinued in July, August and September. The reason is two fold. SSFC has a unique arrangement with the school board so that those adults living in isolated areas without transportation and are attending the college are able to come to town on the school bus, and of course when the buses are stopped for the summer, they no longer have a way into town. Secondly, the employment in Haliburton County is seasonal and therefore many of the students work during this season.
