BEACHES ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL

We embrace the philosophy it takes a village to raise a child through unique opportunities for relationship-building, volunteering in the community, and meaningful family involvement, we make school a truly collaborative experience. Families and teachers work as a team, enriching student learning through wide-ranging parent/caregiver volunteerism and participation.

We teach the Ontario curriculumn in combined-grade classrooms, integrating a rigorous, relevant, and responsive academic program with real-world experiential learning. Our teachers cultivate wonder by developing empathy, growth mindsets, critical thinking, and creative expression in their students. Our school emphasizes cooperation over competition, allowing our students to demonstrating their learning with confidence amongst supportive peers.

We are a welcoming, inclusive, and affirming school community where families get to know and care for each other. Responsible citizenship that is sensitive to the needs of others is fundamental to our culture of belonging. As our community evolves, so do we, celebrating diversity as our strength.
