Specialized Support Programs to Help You Succeed

Develop the skills you need to achieve your educational and career goals.

Get from Point A to Point B

If you already know what your end-goal is, we will help you get there.
If you do not know what your end-goal is yet, our program can help you figure out your educational and career goals – because we are committed to your success. Our experiential learning will give you the chance to try out different ideas, and our dedicated advisors will work directly with you.

Be a Name, Not a Number

Through the volunteering and field-based experiences, you can get ideas of potential jobs. You can also find job opportunities at our Career Development Centre.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

We offer a dedicated Financial Aid Advisor to help you navigate our scholarship and bursary application process, and apply for government financial aid programs.

A True Community Beyond the Classroom

Much more than time in the classroom.

Make a Difference

We focus on fostering:
•    Academic confidence
•    A nurturing community
•    Positive values
•    Social justice in action
•    Leadership skills

You will be joining a highly engaged group of students who are active members of their cohort, school and community.

Beyond the classroom, you can take advantage of experiences dedicated to building all important ‘soft-skills’ through active involvement – such as networking, on-the-job experience, campus life, teamwork and leadership skills.

Our students are encouraged to give back and make a difference in the world. You can take courses on pressing social issues, travel on service-learning trips, and give back to the less fortunate through a multitude of volunteer opportunities.
