Our Four Pillars of Learning

At Dr. Anne Anderson High School, we provide high caliber academic programming that opens as many doors to the future as possible. We differentiate programming to meet students’ diverse needs. Our approach to learning focuses on:

• Rigorous Programming - We use high-impact and innovative teaching approaches to ensure our students excel as they engage in rigorous academic study of the curriculum. We strategically plan lessons that focus on developing understanding and skills through in-depth study and cross-curricular learning activities.

• Authentic Experiences - Authentic experiences help students to see the connections between what they are learning and the world around them. Our programming runs in a high quality learning environment. We also provide students with hands-on experiences, field trips, exploration activities, and work experience opportunities beyond our school setting.

• Community Connections - Education is a collective responsibility, and through collaboration with stakeholders, we enhance and enrich opportunities for students while incorporating the expertise that exists within our communities. We continue to develop strong connections with our parents, post-secondary research institutions, and industry experts.

• A Future Focus - The world around us is constantly changing. Responsive learning opportunities and environments will support the development of competencies and transferable skills. Students are able to earn micro-credentials that allow for the development of essential skills and addition of tangible qualifications to their resumes as a way of demonstrating career readiness. Our graduates need to be ready to enter a complex world as global innovators and problem solvers.
