The Adam Beck program is based on the Ontario and TDSB initiatives. We aim to:
Provide a warm, welcoming, and safe learning environment in which our students build self esteem, confidence and learn to work together in mutual respect and trust. Meet the needs of the whole child - intellectually, physically, socially, and emotionally. Help all students develop skills, knowledge, attitudes and values necessary to strive for academic excellence in all areas of the curriculum and to become self-disciplined, life long learners. Maintain and enhance partnerships between home, school, the community and among staff members. Support programs and initiatives which develop respect for the environment and the wise use of resources.
