The Academic Team (A.T.) is an alternative education program that is aimed at students who wish to take a more active role in directing their own studies.  Academic Team concentrates on encouraging students to manage their time and goals, and is intended to offer students more control of their own learning.  The program operates in a non-traditional classroom setting under the direction of two teachers and an educational assistant.  Academic Team is rooted in the belief that students will become better learners if given more responsibility for their education.  The Academic Team program is committed to providing a quality education in an environment that encourages personal growth through the development of responsibility, maturity, self-motivation, and dedication.

Students who successfully complete the application process enter the Academic Team program in grade ten and may choose to remain in the program throughout high school.

An Academic Team presentation is held every spring immediately following the grade nine high school registration evening.
