LEAP (Grade 8)

​​​The LEAP program is for Grade 8 students who are on an essential/locally developed pathway and who are currently feeling disengaged from school.  It provides experiential and project-based learning to meet the varied learning styles of disengaged Grade 8 students.

• re-engagement in school
• basic skill development in numeracy and literacy   
• development of social skills through collaborative learning opportunities
• use of technology to support skills acquisition where appropriate
• develop positive self-esteem as a learner.​
