SCHOOL PROGRAMThe basic philosophy of the Steinbach Regional Secondary School is to provide opportunities for allstudents to select courses to meet their individual needs and abilities. Depending upon the interest andability of the individual and his/her plans for further education, students may choose from seven basictypes of programs offered.1. Academic: This program is primarily designed for students wishing a general liberal arts high schoolor specialized education. The main subjects would include English, Math, Science, Languages, SocialSciences, and other related subjects. This type of program could prepare a student to enter university,college, or other institutions for advanced education. Students have the flexibility to concentrate theirstudies in humanities, sciences, mathematics, arts or music. Students should be sure they meetrequirements for post-secondary study. Students may choose one of three program concentrations underthis major.2. Tech Prep: This is a challenging program designed to assure that high school students acquire moretechnically oriented knowledge and skills. This coordinated sequence of academic andtechnical/vocational courses prepares students for lifelong learning including advanced study atcommunity colleges, technical institutions and universities. Four Tech Prep majors and other electives areoffered at SRSS: Business/Management, Computer, Engineering, Health/Human Services andInformation Science.3. Business Education: This is a program which deals with business experience both for specializedvocational use and for general use, and may lead directly to an office or business career. Its main aimsare: to offer specialized training in a useful and marketable skill in a certain business area, to providetraining for intelligent participation in business life as a consumer and to develop better citizens byproviding social and economic understanding in order to utilize human and material resources for the bestinterests of our nation. To establish a foundation for further training four Business Education majors areoffered at SRSS: Accounting, Administrative Assistant, Entrepreneurship, and Marketing.4. Vocational Technical: These are three-year programs designed to provide pre-employmentexperience in specific trades and occupations, plus a good general education for citizenship. One half ofthe time is spent on general education subjects including English, Math, Science, Language, SocialScience, and related subjects. The other half of the time is spent in the shop or laboratory working withthe tools, machines, and materials relating to the area chosen. Upon satisfactory completion of thevocational industrial program, the graduate will have a high school standing and should have developedvocational, cultural, and social competencies and will be ready to enter the work force, go to an instituteof technology, or, perhaps, to a university. Twelve Vocational Industrial programs and a cluster ofinformation science courses are offered at SRSS: Agriculture, Auto Body, Building Construction,Computer Technology, Culinary Arts, Electrical, Esthetics, Family and Community Education, Hairstyling,Industrial Design, Power Mechanics, and Welding.5. Individualized Adapted Vocational/Academic: These programs have been prepared for studentsunable to benefit from the regular curriculum at the secondary school level. The program is designed tomeet the needs of students who have completed the Junior High adapted programs as well as thosestudents who may transfer into the course from the regular school program. This program combines basicgeneral education with occupational skill training to prepare a student to move directly into the work force.It does not qualify him/her to enter post-secondary institutions. Eight Vocational Occupational programsare offered at SRSS: Agriculture, Auto Body, Building Construction, Culinary Arts, Family and CommunityEducation, Hairstyling, Power Mechanics, and Welding. Modified programs are only available to studentswith IEPs and/or Counsellor consultant information.6. Cooperative Education: Cooperative Education involves co-operation of the school and communityto provide an educational program for students. Participants are provided with learning experiences bothin the community and in the classroom. Students successfully completing courses receive high schoolcredits for their work experience. This option works in conjunction with the Academic, Business, TechPrep, Technical, and General Education programs.7.

time spent at the workplace. The teacher/coordinator, the workplace supervisor and the student willshare evaluation. Each high school credit will involve 110 hours of documented time-on-task as verifiedby the workplace supervisor. Employee benefits, wages and workers compensation are the responsibilityof the employer. Upon successful completion of Grade 12, students participating in the High SchoolApprenticeship Program will receive a Senior Years Technology Program diploma and may also receivecredit for having completed as much as the first level of an apprenticeship training program.SRSS Resource DepartmentAll students learn in different ways.
