Philosophy
The General Studies Program (GSP) is designed to meet the needs of those students who have experienced difficulties throughout their school career. Our belief is that all students are capable of success. The Modified Academic Program offers students the opportunity to acquire and expand upon concepts, skills, attitudes, and strategies necessary for school success and the successful transition from high school to post high school life.
Purpose:
• Offer students experienced teachers and additional classroom support through placement of teacher assistants in each core subject
• Teach students learning strategies that are applicable to lifelong learning
• Provide opportunities for off-campus work experience and the registered apprenticeship program
• Receive an Alberta High School Diploma
