Preparing Students For Tomorrow

classroomThree local school boards are working together to help build current students into the next generation of workers.

Mark Phillips, with the French Catholic board, says the idea is to get kids interested in real-world experience early on.

“Stats show that kids when they become volunteers at a young ages they become life long volunteers,” says Phillips. “So a lot of the projects are really geared around not just about getting involved but giving back to the community so they feel a part of the community.”

The Experiential Learning model runs from kindergarten to grade 12, and give students hands-on learning both in the classroom and in the community.
