Grant-A-Week WINNER
Apex Secondary School
Apex
Secondary School is an alternate school developed by a community
task force.
In the first year of the program
there were 25 students enrolled. After four years the enrollment
has grown to 55.
After successfully completing
their first year at APEX many students requested that they be
able to return for another year, as this was the first positive
school experience they had had in a long time. The staff advocated
that the students could stay on if they took on a leadership role
in the school.

Apex was created to
meet the needs of students who struggle in the mainstream
school system, those who drop out or "slip through the cracks."
|
|
As a result, the Recreation Leadership program was
created. The APEX program consists of three parts: leadership,
volunteer and recreation. The APEX recreation class is using the
CAAWS Nike grant to help pay for activities such as rock climbing,
river rafting and kayaking. Thanks for supporting our endevors.
