Alternative Education

The Thames Valley Alternative Secondary School offers classroom-based programs at a variety of sites, and itinerant teachers provide programming to students in more rural areas. Students who participate in these programs are referred by their home school and often maintain a part-time program with their home school.

Site-based classrooms offer part-time programs while itinerant programs offer one hour a week of teacher/student instruction at a location near the student's home.

Students in our Alternative Education programs participate in a flexible, individualized program based on their academic needs. Both programs are considered 'transition programs' with the goal of returning the student to their secondary school or another alternative program.
