Our Mission

 

The students, staff and parents of ASE 1 believe that our school should be a trusting, humanitarian and egalitarian environment that stresses flexibility, a commitment to learning and openness in all aspects of personal and academic communication. We seek to foster respect for the individual, personal responsibility and a strong sense of community.

The staff at ASE 1 try to foster a comfortable, welcoming, and familial environment for our students. Our small student population of approximately 50 students, and the small school of only 4 classrooms, allows everyone to get to know each other in a way that is impossible at a larger school. Staff and students communicate on a first name basis, and the staff are genuinely interested in our students. The nature of the school allows for strong relationships to be built.

Regular fun events, such as cookie and cupcake decorating, pancake breakfasts, and samosa days, help build a sense of belonging and community. We are also fortunate to have a common room where students can eat snacks from our grab and go nutrition program, relax during lunch, and work together to maintain the shared space.

Sem2 timetable

Blended Learning - ASE 1 has been incorporating online learning into our curriculum for many years now.  Our students feel prepared to tackle different learning platforms, in particular, Brightspace and Google Applications.

In addition to classroom-based instruction, all classes at ASE 1 use an online learning system to enhance the student experience. This helps students stay organized, review missed course material when absent, communicate with their teachers, and prepare for using similar systems when they move to post-secondary institutions.
