Adult, Alternative & Continuing Education

Springbank Centre

Program:

The Springbank Centre assists at-risk students between 14 and 18 years of age. Credits may be earned in a variety of subjects including mathematics, English, history, and geography. A personal life management curriculum is offered in areas such as parenting, well-being, and career awareness.

Alternative programming allows students the opportunity to gain self-esteem and success by supporting the students through teaching and counselling.

It is understood that these students have many challenges in their attempts to be successful and many services are offered to assist them. Liaisons with community agencies, referrals to deal with personal needs, and on-site life skills and health groups assist the students in becoming successful.

The program is offered in a stand-alone operation which makes some students more comfortable attending on a regular basis as well as allowing students extra time to make a comfortable transition to a home secondary school.

The Springbank Centre is open daily, Monday to Friday, from 8:45 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (Lunch: 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.). The program runs on the regular secondary school calendar.
