SOLE is a small, alternative school that offers a different approach to secondary education for students who are committed to learning excellence. Our specialized timetable and range of courses is available for students from grade 10 - 12 who are at least 16 years old. We provide a caring atmosphere in a supportive, community environment.
Our small classes are dynamic and interactive and require full student participation. We use technology, including Moodle, as one aspect of our delivery model. Teachers and students know each other by first name. We have high expectations for our students, whether they are destined for university, the workplace or college.
