ABOUT

The Awaken Program focuses on:

Student-Driven Education: Learners take the lead in designing and managing their own projects, fostering autonomy and responsibility.

Expert Connections: Collaboration with industry professionals, allowing our students to gain authentic insights and mentorship.

Core Competencies: Builds critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills aligned with BC’s curriculum.

Real-World Impact: Projects address current local challenges and concepts, preparing students for post-secondary education and future careers. 

Awaken Education empowers students to become independent, innovative thinkers through real-world, project-based learning.

Students engage in sustained, interdisciplinary projects connected to the community and fields of study. Learning is strengthened through partnerships with local experts, mentors, and organizations who bring current knowledge and real-world standards into the learning process.

Students are supported to become independent drivers of their own education — planning and managing projects, conducting research, applying disciplinary knowledge, revising work through feedback, and communicating their learning through presentations.
