BEACHES ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL We believe in nourishing the development of the whole child, within the context of our public school community. One school….many voices.
We are a community-based publicly funded alternative school, which places a strong emphasis on family involvement and experiential learning, while following provincial curriculum guidelines. The philosophy “It takes a village to raise a child” is lived in our school community and the network of BAS families is the village in which all our children grow, learn and thrive.
We strive to create an environment that fosters curiosity, connectedness, progressive skill-building and critical thinking. We foster good citizenship through global education activities, multi-age activities, and through cooperative, rather than competitive, approaches to learning.
Our values of community building, justice, equity, and respect for self, others, and the world around us are as important as academic achievement. We value learning that matters – that connects hearts, minds, families, and communities.
