Policies & Procedures

 

Alternative Education Programs

When the learning objectives in a specific area of study are not appropriate for a student, they may be placed on an Alternative Education Program, or an Inclusion and Support Plan, depending on the student’s age and grade level. Alternative Education Programs are available for students in Grades 10 through 12. Students who are in Kindergarten to Grade 9 will continue to receive most of their programming within the regular classroom, but will require an individualized plan to outline the learning outcomes and instructional strategies for the student. Students in Grades 10 to 12 may be placed in Modified or Alternate Programs if the learning outcomes of the regular education program are too rigorous.
