How we can help you help your students:
Success Program
The Success Program is an after school program which assists students with homework and assignments. It operates from 3:15 to 4:00 p.m., Monday to Thursday. Students are supported by a teacher and committed student tutors.
Students may get involved in the program in three ways:
- Students may choose to attend
- Parents may request that their child attend
- Teachers may assign a student to the Success Program if they think it would be beneficial
- Please note: Due to the time constraint of this program, we do not offer test supervision.
Connect
Connect is available for drop-in in every block as an alternative learning space to provide students with additional support. All students can access the program with the permission of their classroom teacher. Our goal is to work with students and their teachers so that all learners at Burnaby North can find success. Connect is also a space where students may be supported with online learning and with other individualised alternate curriculum.
Pre-Employment Program
The aim of this program is to provide students with the broadest range of skills, experiences and knowledge to become as “work-ready” as possible.
After finishing their grade 12 year, students receive a school-leaving certificate (Evergreen).
The program curriculum encompasses modified academic studies in English,
Social Studies, Math and Science, a Functional Living Skills program, career and personal planning. Senior students complete out-of-school work experiences with local businesses and service providers. Students also operate in school businesses and participate in some adapted academic courses and electives.
Access Program
