The Centre for Alternative and Virtual Education (the CAVE) is an alternative school that provides high school courses in an informal, friendly and flexible learning environment. The CAVE is staffed by a Principal, five teachers and two support staff.
We offer all core courses in Grades 10, 11 and 12, as well as some option courses.
The CAVE primarily serves students in high school, but may help adult learners as well. Students 19 years old or older as of September 1st of the current school year may be able to take courses at the CAVE once a discussion with the principal has occurred. If it is approved by the principal a cost of $100/credit (non-refundable) would be charged. A book deposit and Chromebook deposit, if student cannot provide their own, will also be charged. This would be returned upon the return of the textbook and Chromebook. The book and Chromebook deposits will be charged to any student who has already attended 3 years of high school.
The CAVE is somewhat different from other schools in structure, scheduling and culture as well as in clientele. Students who attend the CAVE do so because they need or desire greater flexibility within, and control over, their educational programming. The school serves a very diverse group of students, from those who struggle to those who wish to accelerate their program.
