Norman Johnston still has continuous intake, and has flexible options
As a secondary alternative program Norman Johnston has always had many creative and unique pathways to student success. Due to COVID, the flexibility and variety of learning options has increased.
NJ Basics:
- Students can attend 5 days per week in person from 8:30-12:45
- From Jan 4-29 all classes are through remote learning
- Students progress 1 class at a time, not tied to semesters, quad-mesters, or octo-mesters (on average students take 5-6 weeks per course.)
- Students can enrol for short or long term options.
Some examples of students who come to NJ?
- Students behind in credits and hoping to catch up, or need to get “back on track.”
- Students seeking creative co-op options (ie paid co-op, taking co-op and classes, Winning Attitudes, etc.)
- Students who prefer an independent, teacher supported, small school setting type of learning.
- Students with scheduling issues, or in need of credit recovery options
- Students looking to switch post-secondary pathway, or in need of upgrades
- Students for whom their community school or OCV, just isn’t working right now.
- Lots of other diverse reasons…...
