"High School Redesign is a province-wide initiative focused on three outcomes: engaged students, high levels of achievement and quality teaching. It's about redesigning high school to be more student-centred and responsive." (Alberta Education)

1. We have five 65-minute blocks per day (rather than four 80-minute blocks).
2. We have "iPlan" block once per day. This is the block where students can choose what subject they want to study and where. There are math tutors, other teachers, "try-it" rooms (where students can try out a new activity or subject), the weight room, and special homework rooms all available during iPlan.
3. CONNECT and dual credit courses are available for students who want or need to study a course independently outside of the regular classroom.
4. One-Credit Wonders are offered where a student can take a "stand-alone" module in a day or two.
5. Business connections promote hands-on learning in different areas of study
6. Tour of the trades offers students an opportunity to learn about 5 trades in one day and then work in one for 3 full days.
