WELCOME TO BEYOND BORDERS
Beyond Borders offers an opportunity for all enthusiastic and community-minded grade 12 students to enjoy a unique semester that will truly prepare them for the future. The program focuses on leadership development, business, math, global development and sustainability, with an emphasis on team-building, skill development, and experiential learning.

The program fee of $250 covers many remarkable learning opportunities and enjoyable experiences. Depend on our budget, possible trips include; New York City, Toronto, Blue Mountain, and a leadership development trip to the Muskokas visiting Camp Tawingo.

Students get the chance to prepare themselves for post secondary education through our program structure, campus tours and interaction with faculty and students. Students will have the opportunity to network with many professionals within a variety of fields, including education, business, local politics and more.

Students are shown the varying factors that contribute to a successful company and leader. Students are shown how to become socially responsible leaders through character driven activities that will develop the traits that will help them be better leaders and members of society.

Our Campus
A Grade 12 Program focussed on...
Beyond Borders offers a four credit course package for Grade 12 students. The four courses included in the program are: Business Leadership, World Issues, The Pursuit of Happiness and a choice between Advanced Functions and Data Management. Review the "Goals and Courses" page for more details about each course.
Students will leave the traditional school setting and travel to an offsite location (Tytler Public School) on a daily basis. Classes will take place at the centre, in the surrounding parks, and through visits to various community businesses.
Leadership Development
Students will regularly be provided with leadership opportunities. We provide workshops, simulations, lectures, evaluations and challenges. We are confident that students will become character driven leaders by the end of the semester.
Experiential Learning
We are convinced that students learn better outside the bounds of a classroom. Through hands on teaching approaches we will bring the curriculum to life for students.
