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:

• Open to students 16-21

• Students can attend 5 days per week from 8:30-12:45 

• 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…...
