About

Principal

We believe in and have established our school culture to align with Battle ​River School Division’s vision of “Every Student, Every Day, A Success”. 

​​At Battle River Alternative Centre for Education, students, teachers, support staff, and community partner’s work together to ensure a safe, supportive and caring learning experience for all that nurtures and celebrates diversity. In our self-directed learning environments we actively listen to our students giving value and credence to individual student voice and that provide the opportunity for choice.  This allows for students to have the freedom to customize a learning program they feel is best suited for their unique goals, diverse abilities, personal interests and life circumstances.

​​Creating a culture that recognizes the value of personalization and flexible learning environments, students can choose courses, personalize attendance agreement and develop educational plans that accommodates for individualized learning at their own pace. By empowering our students to actively participate in their learning, we believe, each student will be more engaged, take more responsibility and develop ownership of their learning that will result in the successful completion of High School. ​

​We strive on a daily basis to be mindful of our interactions with all students, hopeful that the guidance and support provided will give each of our students the skill sets, knowledge and learning experiences to be successful and caring members within our communities.
