Where are the Honours Classes?<\/strong> Why Integrat<\/b>e Junior Students into Inclusive<\/b>\u00a0<\/b>Classrooms<\/b>?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

BC has one curriculum for all students. \u00c9cole Alpha Secondary is a progressive educational institution where junior students are integrated into inclusive classrooms and instruction is differentiated to meet the needs of all learners. We want to foster a strong sense of belonging at Alpha. Inclusive classrooms are essential for encouraging an appreciation for and acceptance of individual differences and strengths. This inclusive model promotes the development of meaningful friendships within grade cohorts and creates a vibrant Alpha community that reflects the true diversity of our society.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Enrichment opportunities designed to inspire, challenge, and stretch students who demonstrate strong work ethic, passion, and ability exist in each English classroom and also in the school at large. In the senior grades,<\/strong> as students become mature and sure of their interests, they may elect to challenge themselves with specific enrichment (pre-AP and AP) courses.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
