Our mission is to enable our students to: Comprehend rigorous content with ease through effective learning techniques pursue and acquire productive employment in a competitive global economy demonstrate effective communication, problem solving, interpersonal, information gathering, and leadership skills Understand the unique diversity of religion, culture, race, gender, age and the importance of a strong commitment to equal education opportunity. The supportive climate at ELP is created by the stimulating and challenging academic environment, as well as the safe, healthy and attractive surroundings. Just as the classroom creates an atmosphere of learning, so does the positive outlook of the teachers, who are here to assist and encourage our students. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance from any of the school staff, we are more than willing to help you. Our staff and the programs we offer are dedicated to the development of the total student: intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally. We seek to foster the self-esteem of each individual in an atmosphere of respect, tolerance and understanding. At the same time, we promote a high standard of achievement that provides our students with the learning opportunities and support they need to be successful, whether they enter the work force or go on to post-secondary education.
The curriculum at Easy Learning Path will deal with real-life applications of student learning as much as possible. The curriculum will also be based upon the curriculum expectations laid out by the Ministry of Education in the province of Ontario. The curriculum will be respectful of the diversity within our Canadian society. Each student at Easy Learing Path will be treated as an individual and encouraged to express their own opinions and ideas. Our students can expect a supportive climate and a staff that models and encourages excellence. Upon graduation, our students will be responsible lifelong learners able to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world. The teachers at East Learing Path will be aware of the learning styles of their students as much as possible, in order to use strategies most effectively in the learning process. Opportunities will exist for all students to be successful by providing them with the opportunities to seek extra help, to have large complex tasks broken into manageable chunks, to have regular scheduled student conferencing with the course teacher and to have clear standards for evaluations. Students must respect the intellectual property rights of others.
Easy Learning Path (ELP) is a safe, nurturing, positive and respectful learning environment that enables all students to succeed and reach their full potential. Our school is a place that promotes peaceful problem solving, academic excellence and a sense of belonging for all students. Students are expected to demonstrate respect for human rights, social justice and promote the values they need to become responsible members of society. All students are expected to treat other students, teachers and admin staff with respect, courtesy and consideration. All students will accept the authority of the teachers and all teachers will demonstrate respect for all students. Threats, distasteful remarks, abuse of any kind or harassment by any individual which impairs the health and welfare of any student or staff member is not permitted and is to be reported to a ELP Principal immediately. The Principal will discipline the student using a variety of means including counselling, contacting the home or suspension from the course.
Academic dishonesty, including instances of plagiarism, and cheating, are serious breaches of the school code of conduct. Any cases of academic dishonesty will be reported to the school administration and a plan of action will be implemented. Students may lose the opportunity to demonstrate achievement of course expectations by means of that assignment of those expectations may still be demonstrated without penalty on other assignments. Wherever possible, alternate assignments will be used in addition to the disciplinary action. Disciplinary action may include: referral to administration; documentation of occurrence; informing the parent/guardian; counseling; a compensatory task (e. g., writing an article about “ethics’); academic assistance; suspension; loss of credit due to lack of sufficient evidence.
