Student-led, innovation and excellence

Our student-led approach to learning began almost 40 years ago with our early childhood education play program.

Other highlights include:

  • our partnerships with local schools in Vermilion ensure child and youth care counsellor program students gain relevant experience
  • our animal assisted wellness program, which is the only credited program of its kind in Canada
  • our sign language program is hosted at Alberta School for the Deaf, a hub for the Deaf community in Edmonton

We'll never stop innovating and improving. Perhaps that's why we won a Colleges and Institutes Canada silver award of excellence.
