SEEC is a school on Saturna Island where students leave their homes from Monday to Wednesday (a 3 day week) for 1 full-year to live and sleep in sustainably designed off grid cabins. The power comes from solar panels, a hydro-dam, and there is a wood stove for communally cooking your meals.
Focusing on place based ecology and leadership through outdoor pursuits, SEEC's full year program offers students credits that are based on Grade 10/11 curriculum through an integrated suite of 8 courses (32 credits):
PE and Outdoor Ed - x2
Science - Environmental focus x2
Socials - First Nations, critical thinking and world issues
English - presentations and performing in a play
