About Us
Skyline is an alternate school that strives to provide a healthy and successful school experience for students who, for whatever reason, have been unable to achieve success in a regular school setting. We are not a school of choice. All students in attendance have gone through a referral process from their regular school to enter Skyline. Skyline provides an educational setting where social and emotional growth and support with healing of vulnerable students can occur with the goal to become productive community members.
Skyline has always been a school program that provides an offsite educational option to support students with an independent, self-paced program that recognizes that with support, students with challenging life-situations and lifestyles could be successful. With a focus on building individual self-control and responsibility, often through outdoor education and active learning experiences. Skyline students work through basic grade 8 - 10 curriculum materials in the hopes to return to senior secondary school or perhaps join the work force with some skills. We also offer programs from grade 8 - 12 and each year graduates many students. The main goal of Skyline is to help students with challenging life situations find success in school and beyond.
Skyline Alternate prides itself on being able to work successfully with students to create a positive school experience. We have seen many students come though our doors and within a few months, they begin to see the benefits, feel the sense of safety and connection, embrace Skyline and make it their own. Many students have entered Skyline and a short time later have left with a Dogwood Graduation certificate in their hands. Skyline has worked for many students and it can work for you.
