Caring, Learning and Growing Together

The Alternative Secondary School Program offers our students the opportunity to learn in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere. The program is based on individual, independent learning courses that students can complete at their own pace. The Alternative Secondary School Program offers additional tutoring, should the student require this service.

Classroom activities include one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction. There are two on-site teachers at all times.

The Alternative Secondary School Program offers a lunch program to our enrolled students.

Students will have the opportunity to participate in extra-curricular activities.
