About this service
An alternative education program for Indigenous youth (13-16) whose needs are not being met in traditional school programs.
As a student coming to Aries, we recognize and respect that you have your own unique strengths, goals, interests, needs, and history. We'll work with you to identify your goals and collaborate with you on creating your own Individual Education Plan.
Indigenous teachings, knowledge, and perspectives play an important part role in learning at Aries. We provide tools and creates space for you to experience and explore these, and to share your own cultural knowledge.
Our full-time Vancouver School Board teacher, program manager, and two youth care counsellors work together with your family, guardians, and other support workers. We focus on ways to support you that consider all aspects of your wellbeing at school, at home, and in the community.
One of the ways we support your wellbeing is by taking into account the effects of trauma.
