Navigate (NIDES) prides itself on building innovative programs that serve students and parents in the local communities we work with throughout British Columbia. We believe in learning that is centered on the discovery and development of each student’s passions and “sparks” in life and surrounding them with community mentors who can work with parents and teachers to create dynamic programming for all children.
We are always open to discussing the possibilities for developing additional local programs that are centered on such things as the fine arts, outdoor & environmental education, place-based learning, STEM curriculum or another specialized focus (e.g. dance, equestrian, athletics, or agricultural).
Our Heartwood Learning Community programs begin with as little as 8 students, and include teacher led, blended instructional platforms that combine face-to-face classes with online learning at home. The Seven Summits Centre for Learning provides a full slate of 8-12 secondary courses and programming for students in Rossland, BC. North Shore Academy in North Vancouver is a destination school of choice for student athletes who require a flexible academic schedule to support their athletic training.
We strive to make learning flexible and accessible with all our partner communities.
If you are interested in learning more about developing your own local, blended learning program for K-12 students, we would love to hear from you!
