Eagle High

Eagle High is a special education and counselling program for high-needs students between the grades of 8-10 who require a greater level of support than regular high schools or other alternate programs can offer.  The program integrates an academic component with individual and group counselling, recreation, and cultural activities.

PROGRAM FEATURES

• Modified grades 8 through 10 Integrated accredited academic program with individual and group counselling, and social, recreation and cultural activities
  
  
• Combination of one-to-one tutoring and group instruction to accommodate students with a wide range of academic ability and skill development
  
  
• We avoid using a lecture format except during brief “mini-lessons” to introduce concepts and/or information
  
  
• Goal meetings and peer group work to promote clarification of values and responsible decision-making
  
  
• All participants in the school work together to reach agreed upon goals. The progress on that work is reviewed each week
  
  
• Recreation activities include: art, camping, a ‘Breakfast Club’ and lunch program to encourage attendance and participation
  

ACCESS

A Vancouver Social Worker from the Ministry for Children and Family Development, or a Probation Officer can make a referral to the program.

Once a referral has been made and a position is available in the school we will schedule a meeting and tour of the school.  The tour will involve the prospective student, his/her Social Worker, a parent or caregiver and one of our Eagle High Counsellors or Teachers.

Individual learning priorities are discussed and if the student chooses to attend Eagle High a contract for participation and attendance is signed.
