Academy of Academic Upgrading

 

This academy profiles Nutana’s strength in offering programming to students who wish to complete Grade 12, upgrade their previous marks, or pick up a class that they require for post-secondary training.

 

Academy Highlights:

Quarter Classes

· Students take only two classes at a time and complete each course in just ten weeks.

· Students can register for classes four times each school year - September, November, January and April.

Classroom Instruction

· Teachers strive to provide learning experiences that are distinctly different than traditional programs.

· Support from teachers and tutors are available outside of class time.

Mature Students

· Over fifty percent of our students are over the age of 18 and choose Nutana because of its comfortable adult atmosphere.

· Students over the age of 22 are most welcome to attend but will be required to pay tuition.

Services Available to Students

Student Services

· The Student Services office provides support services to students in the following areas:

· School registration and records

· Academic program information, preliminary assessment and planning

· Personal relationship and crisis counseling for students and parents

· Post-secondary education and career information and counseling

· Referrals to support services within the school and community

Tutoring

· Students can make arrangements to meet their teachers at 8:30 each morning if they wish extra assistance.

· Regularly scheduled noon hour tutoring sessions are also available.

CanSask (Career and Employment Services)

· An on site CanSask Career Consultant provides students with up to date information, services and resources so that they are better

      prepared to develop a career path and to pursue their goals.

· Students can also access information on post-secondary training programs.

· Information and support in finding a job is available as well.

· iJob, a new and innovative career resource, is designed to support youth to be successful in making the school to work transition.

SIAST

· Nutana and SIAST have a working agreement designed to assist students to make a successful transition into programming at Kelsey.

Re-Entry and Support Program

· Students are provided with material and activities designed to review fundamental skills or to provide enrichment to support success

      in their classroom courses.

· Course material is divided into packages so that students can work at their own pace.

Nutana Extension Resource Re-Entry Venture (NERRV)

· This is an afternoon program designed to provide alternatives for students who benefit from non-traditional curriculum delivery.

· Students have the opportunity to work semi-independently on curriculum modules, finish courses from a previous quarter, or receive

      instruction in small groups.

Resource Room Program

· Students learn how to study, take notes, proofread, be organized, manage their time and write exams.

· The Resource Room teacher also works with classroom teachers to adapt curriculum, instruction and evaluation in order to meet

      the needs of individual students.

 

 

 I have found the quarter system to be a very effective way to learn

 while maintaining a full-time job.  If you show up for class and do your work,

you will be successful.
