In many ways, Alexander is very much an expression of its context, namely the cultural and social life of Vancouver. The approach is international, drawing students from a range of cultural backgrounds, though also teaching with an eye to global communication and issues. The school is very forward looking, adapting programs to address 21st century literacies, and providing support for individual student success, including flexible scheduling. Academics are front and centre, just as they should be, but there is an attention to student life within the walls of the school and beyond. The location is proximate to a range of resources, including galleries and museums, arts venues, and transportation. The ideal student is one preparing for university studies.

Progressive
Information not available
Progressive (sometimes called "in- quiry-based") curricula attempt to place children's interests and ideas at the heart of the learning experience. Instead of lessons being driven by predetermined pathways, progressive curricula are often "emergent", with learning activities shaped by students' questions about the world. Instead of starting with academic concepts and then tying it to everyday experience, progressive methods begin with everyday experience and work back to an academic lesson. Teachers provide materials, experiences, tools and resources to help students investigate a topic or issue. Students are encouraged to explore, reflect on their findings, and discuss answers or solutions.

Alexander Academy is authorized to offer the BC Graduation Program. We also offer an English Language Development Program and a unique University Transfer Program in conjunction with Alexander College. Alexander Academy is dedicated to providing educational programs that inspire students to follow independent paths to success. We recognize that each student has their own academic goals, learning style, passion, and talent. Our teachers are committed to ensuring that each student has the opportunity to challenge themselves academically, enabling them to reach their personal level of academic excellence. Out-of-Classroom Learning Alexander Academy recognizes that students thrive in an environment that has relevance and context to their learning. Through authentic, out-of-classroom learning experiences, students are inspired and obtain in-depth knowledge of the curricular subjects they are studying through active and engaged learning, inquiry, real-world exploration, and challenges.
Our school utilizes a progressive, strength-based approach to curriculum delivery with an emphasis on universal design and inclusivity in the classroom. Our program is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of twice-exceptional learners, who often present with wonderful abilities and talents in certain domains while also requiring specific support to access and demonstrate learning due to exceptional needs in other domains. Our goal is to successfully and holistically engage all students in the process of learning by meeting them where they are and guiding them on a path of constant and never-ending improvement.

Traditional Math typically teaches a method or algorithm FIRST, and THEN teaches the applications for the method. Traditional algorithms are emphasized and practiced regularly: repetition and drills are frequently used to ensure foundational mastery in the underlying mathematical procedures. The traditional approach to math views math education as akin to building a logical edifice: each brick depends on the support of the previously laid ones, which represent mastery over a particular procedure or method. Traditional Math begins by giving students a tool, and then challenges students to practice using that tool an applied way, with progressively challenging problems. In this sense Traditional Math aims to establish procedural understanding before conceptual and applied understanding.

Phonics-intensive
Systematic-phonics programs teach young children to read by helping them to recognize and sound out the letters and syllables of words. Students are then led to blend these sounds together to sound out and recognize the whole word. While other reading programs might touch on phonetics (either incidentally or on a “when needed” basis), systematic phonics teaches phonics in a specific sequence, and uses extensive repetition and direct instruction to help readers associate specific letter patterns with their associated sounds.

A major effort is made to integrate the development of digital literacy throughout the curriculum and in everything students do. Digital literacy is understood to be a fundamental skill in the 21st century: it therefore follows, the idea goes, that teachers should find ways to connect every lesson back to technology. Effort is made to ensure the use of technology is meaningful and advances students’ skills beyond what they would otherwise be from using computers outside the classroom.

Standard-enriched
Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

Students have access to support services via dedicated support staff, dedicated time for support, and flexible groupings to support learning goals and progress.
Supportive
A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.
A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.
We approach academic performance with the belief that all students are unique and can succeed even if they require different evidence-based practices in order to learn and demonstrate their skills. We structure our learning environment in a way that demonstrates unconditional positive regard for our students' abilities while removing barriers to learning through inclusive, adaptive instructional practices. We engage students in a setting with lower student-to-teacher ratios, provide learning plans to 100% of our pupils, and assign faculty advisors to all learners to ensure students are always seen and supported. This allows our faculty to form collegial relationships with students so that they can facilitate the development of students to become the best version of themselves possible.

Our aim is to see well-rounded citizens gain acceptance to the university of their dreams.
In working with twice-exceptional learners, we recognize that many of our students present with profiles that show levels of ability beyond their chronological age in some areas and below in other areas. This bifurcated profile type is not identical from person to person so we approach student development with a balanced set of priorities. This ensures that we are able to provide support, structure, and guidance in the domains of academic, emotional, social, and physical development for those with additional needs in these areas without excluding or over-emphasizing any one area. This balanced approach allows students with exceptional talents to shine through their strengths without focusing exclusively on deficits to the detriment of a student's confidence and overall experience.

We understand and expect that students will change over time. As such, we know that their needs will change as well. In some cases, students grow into a stage of development where underlying differences become more apparent, to the point of clinical significance. We are willing and able to support families through this process and help connect them to resources for additional support and assessment within the community. Working with twice-exceptional students means we are sensitive to the needs of students with learning difficulties and welcome them into our school.

We seek to identify students who will be the best educators of one another and their teachers—individuals who will inspire those around them during their high school years and beyond.
The Study Academy is a place to learn differently. Our bright and quirky environment reflects the students thé bring life to our community. We are institution that provides innovative, differentiated and engaging learning fir students grade 3-12. Our students demonstrate a keen interest in learning and solving problems. They demonstrate and active engagement in their success and are open to also developing the critical executive function skills and strategies. Finally, our students are risk takers and are motivated to solve problems, differently.
Applicants are required to submit the completed online application, supporting documents and fees, and attend an admissions interview either via Zoom or in person.
We encourage all interested families to reach out via our website. From there you will be greeted by our knowledge administrator to arrange an intake interview. From there a class visit is required and we will work with families and the student to arrange a visit that will work best for their learning and social emotional needs. During the class visit(s) we observe the students response to 1:1 engagement, interaction with the class material and response to differentiation, and the students engament with social opportunities. After the visit(s) data is gathered and the family is contacted about next steps. In order to provide the greatest opportunity for success offers of admissions are always specific to the learner needs and may include a scaffolded entry.
