Mission Statement

At Frederick Banting, staff and students work together to build a safe, creative and caring environment that promotes self-esteem through hard work, personal responsibility and achievement so that our students are ready to meet the challenges of the future.

Philosophy

Students who attend our program have chosen to do so because the program delivery method of an Alternate Program best suits their particular learning style. The staff at Frederick Banting is dedicated to helping students improve their self-esteem and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills. We use a team approach with our staff and students working together to achieve academic and personal goals.

Goals

The main goal of the program is to provide an alternate form of schooling for students experiencing difficulties in the traditional secondary school. The program allows for a flexible style of education, yet provides a structure that ensures success for most students who prefer an alternate learning environment.

The program also provides concrete work experience for those students planning to enter the work force and therefore acts as a transitional program from school to work. Co-operative education also assists students in selecting post-secondary programs that are appropriate to the kinds of employment they may select in the future. There is a growing emphasis on apprenticeship programs for our students with strong technical skills.
