About Us

Elm Alternate Pathways 

Belonging, Safety, Kindness, Growth 

Elm Pathways is deeply rooted in the vibrant community of Campbell River, on the traditional territory of the Laichwiltach peoples. We honor this land and its history as we nurture a learning environment that celebrates diversity, belonging, and growth. 

Our student body reflects a rich tapestry of backgrounds, experiences, and learning journeys. We welcome learners from Grades 8–12 in our Alternate Programs, and Grades 6–9 in our Eblend program. Each student brings their own strengths, stories, and aspirations—and we embrace them all. 

To support this dynamic and inclusive community, we offer a wide range of part-time and full-time programs tailored to meet the evolving needs of our learners. Whether through personalized, flexible and innovative academic pathways that support social-emotional growth, and strive to ensure every student feels seen, supported, and empowered.
