Offered at Westmount Secondary School
In a Self Directed – Self Paced learning environment students are encouraged and required to take responsibility for their own learning to work through their credit course in sequence and at their own pace.
The Westmount Self-Paced program began in 1990, and continues to provide a unique, innovative program delivery to its ever-increasing student population. As a system school, Westmount attracts students who strive to develop goal-setting, effective time management, and independent learning skills in a Self Directed – Self Paced learning environment.
At Westmount, staff and administration deliver education within a Self Directed – Self Paced model that:
- Encourages students to become community leaders/members who are socially aware and respectful of the uniqueness of all individuals
- Supports the belief that students learn at different rates and therefore allows them to complete work at different times.
- Supports the belief that students have differing learning styles and therefore allows students to direct various aspects of their own learning.
- Encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviour.
- Tracks, records and reports on student progress on a continuing basis.
Westmount is a system program that is available to all students of the HWDSB. If you are interested in becoming a student at Westmount please contact the school at 905-385-5395.
