SEARCH - Success, Education, Adventure, Reaching Goals, Co-op, Hope

“A strategy for success: set your goal, plan and prepare, proceed with full confidence, don’t give up.” - Alonzo Stagg

The SEARCH program is designed to help students achieve their goal of earning their high school diploma. SEARCH is a one-year program in which students earn credits through interdisciplinary curriculum, co-operative education and an Outward Bound experience. Students in the classroom are offered a wide range of courses including English, Religion, Guidance, Physical Education and Travel & Tourism. As a way of developing job skills, SEARCH students participate in a 2 credit co-op program each semester. Some jobs that students are working at include: auto mechanics, physiotherapy, elementary school helpers and office assistants. The other highlights of the program are a 3-day camping trip and 7-day dogsledding experience in Algonquin Park. The students will work closely with Outward Bound staff to further develop their leadership and teamwork skills.
