Teaching approach of the school |
Through differentiated learning each student is given the opportunity to excel in all academic areas. Teachers are able to give one on one support to each student which gives them a strong foundational skillset for success in their post-secondary studies. Students are also asked to develop their own identity and examine their values as a means to make the best choices for their future. |
