A safe, accommodating, and culturally grounded alternative education program built around your unique learning style.
The school year is split into four distinct terms, and students take only two classes per term instead of trying to balance four or five subjects at once,
We provide an alternative learning environment where students take an active, practical role in their own education and the betterment of their home communities through specialized programming:
Students have the valuable opportunity to work at either a paid or unpaid local employment placement to earn credits toward graduation. This program allows students to gain authentic workplace experience while steadily advancing their education.
We implement dynamic, tactile courses to keep students fully engaged. Learning by doing in a culturally safe space builds confidence and practical life skills.
Our alternative education framework is designed to meet students exactly where they are in life, offering specialized options based on age and history
Our alternative education program proudly services youth from ages 14 to 21.
For students over the age of 18 who have been out of a traditional school setting for a year or more, we offer the life-changing Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) pathway. This program allows eligible students to complete academic assessments across five core content areas: English, Math, Science, History, and Geography. Successfully completing the PLAR assessments instantly satisfies and fills in all Grade 9 and 10 requirements - granting up to 16 credits at once. This gives mature students a powerful opportunity to jump ahead in their education and find success quickly.
We understand that life presents unique challenges, which is why we work to be exceptionally accommodating of individual circumstances while maintaining clear lines of accountability and student celebration.
Bimose Community High School is located within Gaagaigekiizhik School at 1450 Valley Drive in Kenora.
