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 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.
