Exceptional learning…Exceptional learners!

Our Learners:

• Flourish in a personalized learning environment with small class sizes of 15:1 student teacher ratio;
• Enjoy the flexible scheduling we offer. Students focus for 3 hour sessions taking 2 courses at a time. This schedule allows for a concentrated effort on student studies and success for the student;
• Value positive relationships with teachers. Students view teachers as learning facilitators and mentors who they can  connect with on an individual level;
• Appreciate the opportunity to work at their own rate. This  deepens the learning, promotes in learners a sense of ownership, and reduces the level of stress associated with having to meet imposed deadlines.

• We are a small secondary school providing educational opportunities for students
• Relationships with students are central to encouraging students to engage with their learning and become part of the school community thus fostering social, emotional, academic or intellectual.

How do we better engage and enhance the holistic growth of our students?
