Philosophy/Objectives
John Grant High School, an alternative special education vocational centre, is devoted to the needs of students with mild to severe learning difficulties and offers a warm, supportive, multicultural environment and small class sizes. The school’s goals vary according to the ability of the students involved: to assist students in developing his/her life and academic skills to the fullest and promote entry into the regular work force via extensive vocational and work study programs. Students who demonstrate academic ability and promise are encouraged to pursue further education in the Adult Education Sector. Several of our programs prepare students for independent living.

Programs
John Grant offers a modified academic program. Students receive a full range of non-credited academic subjects in the arts, science and technology, history and citizenship, languages as well as physical education, health & wellness and home economics in Cycle 1. There is also a fine arts program (music, art, dance and drama). The Prework oriented pathway will be introduced next year. This program begins for students who reach 15 years of age as of September 30 that academic year. This program leads to a Ministry accredited certificate, not a diploma, upon completion of the 3 years. Prework programs such as building maintenance, food services, grounds keeping and horticulture, cosmetology and early childhood care are offered and linked to work studies in the community.
