Even though most of our schools offer a regular program, no two are quite the same. All schools teach according to Alberta Education’s mandated curriculum, however a school’s focus, optional courses and school activities are as unique as every school.​​​

The Code of the Boa is a model of positive youth development that encompasses four core values: belonging, mastery, independence, and generosity. The model is based on the aboriginal medicine wheel – a sacred symbol representing the wholeness of life. All four quadrants must be intact in order to achieve a balanced and successful life.

Belonging: A positive sense of belonging nurtures self-esteem, self-worth, and equips youth with the ability to develop healthy relationships with others.

Mastery: Developing skills that help youth produce and exercise competence, achievement, and control is an important part of their development.

Generosity: Youth should learn to understand the value of giving back to the community.

Independence: Youth must accept responsibility and develop essential life skills. They must be empowered to understand the impact of their choices.
