PEAK PERFORMANCE PROGRAM
The North Vancouver School District Peak Performance Program allows students to pursue their goals without compromising their schooling. It is appropriate for athletes competing at the provincial or national level or students highly involved in the fine or performing arts.
Students who meet the entrance criteria to the program and are accepted after the application process will be able to take advantage of our special timetable that accommodates their demanding training schedules. Academic courses may be scheduled so that the student is finished school by 1:00 pm every day. A student may also be able to receive credits towards graduation through their accomplishments. Students will be required to re-apply on a yearly basis in order to demonstrate that their program and level of competition are at the standard required to be part of the program.
Criteria
- Minimum of 15 hours per week of specific training in their discipline year round.
- Minimum of C+ average and satisfactory work habits based on previous year's report card. A student may not have any failing grades or Needs Improvement work habits. Special circumstances may be considered in consultation with the Principal.
