Equinox is a structured, safe, and supportive full-day program with a small class size for students in Grades 9 to 12 who are ready to attend and participate in the opportunities provided. Equinox is for students who wish to graduate in an alternative setting with non-traditional academic experiences. Students will earn credits for graduation through activity-based learning, collaborative group work, community service, and life-skills development with the goal of creating a successful transition from school to appropriate career pathways. Students work on their courses throughout the full year of the program, allowing blending between courses such as English and Social Studies; Careers, Food and Nutrition and Leadership; Art and Math; Physical Education and Science.  This allows students to complete meaningful work that incorporates the educational outcomes of multiple courses. The courses offered enable students to complete their BC Dogwood or Adult Dogwood Diploma, or work towards a School Completion Certificate.
