North East Secondary Alternative School


Grades: 10-12, Quadmestered

North East Secondary Alternative School (NESAS) is a small community based alternative school that serves students (ages 16-20) who struggle to succeed in the mainstream school system. Our student body is composed of learners with a variety of social/emotional/financial and academic needs. In order to fully help these students achieve their potential, everything about our program from the daily schedule, nutrition program, in and out of school support programs and differentiated course offerings, provide students an opportunity to harness their own strengths as learners and achieve success.

A focus on whole-student education:
Our vision is to build positive relationships, from a variety of cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, by promoting both academic and social success. As we nurture self-esteem and self-confidence, students develop a fuller understanding of themselves, a deeper awareness of their world and a bolder vision of their future.
