Alternative Education Program Highlights
Through my personal exploration of Alternative Education in Southern Alberta, I have discovered a wide variety of programs and opportunities that could meet the needs of a variety of students with varying needs and interests in Alberta. I gathered this information by researching individual programs online, and speaking with administrators and teachers about their programs over the phone, over email, and in person. The information I have gathered therefore represents a mix of curated public information and of personal opinions gathered from anecdotal conversations with teachers and administrators. Please keep this in mind while exploring the following program highlights. I have cited the people and resources I consulted for each program highlight and on the resources page of this site. It is important to note that this is in no way a comprehensive list, it is only a small selection of the alternative programs that exist in the province of Alberta. I encourage everyone to continue on the exploration of Alternative Programs past this resource.
