Creative Approach

We’ve built our academic program on the foundation of a solid provincial curriculum while incorporating our own educational philosophies and beliefs. We deliver the courses in explorative learning environments and our top priorities are student interaction and community  engagement. Fundamental to this approach is monitoring each student's progress and partaking in regular reflection and goal setting exercises.

Best Practices

Mount Best Practice creations are designed to engage students in the learning process in which they develop personal and professional skills for university and their life beyond. This focus is on project-based activities and exposure to real-world learning with local businesses and charitable organizations.
