Lady Evelyn Alternative School

About Us

Lady Evelyn’s Alternative program has been a successful reality for over 30 years. Although the following characteristics are found in many individual classrooms in both alternative and non-alternative schools, they are the foundation of the Alternative Education philosophy. This philosophy is implemented through a partnership of shared responsibility among staff, students and parents. The seven alternative program tenets are:

1. Cooperation and teamwork
2. Innovative approaches 
3. Balanced student-directed and teacher-directed learning
4. Multi-aged groupings
5. Integrated curriculum 
6. Family and community-centered school environment
7. Ongoing assessment and evaluation
