It is our goal that each graduate will be an independent, resourceful and adaptable learner, who will earn entrance to, and succeed in, the post-secondary institution of his/her choice. To achieve this, our program of study is rigorous and structured, but flexible enough to recognize the diversity of individual abilities and interests.
