Age 17 to 20 Years

This program is being offered in partnership with Cambrian College. This school within a college supports students ages 17 to 20 who would benefit from a small class learning environment and who have not been successful in a regular secondary school. The setting, with a small class size and individualized curriculum, will focus on programming designed to meet student needs. Students will earn credits, build social skills, and develop links to community college programs including Dual Credits. Students will also have access to Youth Employment Services, giving them an opportunity to explore pathways to work, apprenticeship, college and university. The program will encourage students to stay in school or find viable employment. Students can obtain more information about this program by contacting Principal Maureen McNamara at 705-566-2302.
