Advantages of the Victoria School District ATP Program
The Victoria School District ATP program uses small class sizes.
All courses taught in the ATP provide students with credit towards graduation. For example, each course they pass will give them 4 credits and is required for graduation. The benefit of completing these courses at ATP is that the teacher's lectures are paced so that English as a Second Language students can do as well as possible. If they take these courses in a regular high school program, the teachers teach them more quickly, which some of our international students often find difficult.
Students will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities to ensure that they are well adjusted (ATP has an additional $500 activity fee that is spent on students to get them high) including visits to the world famous Butchers Gardens, Goldstream Park, day trips to Vancouver and the Sally Sea and Bowling Center to name a few.
Relatively flexible enrollment schedule. Because the classes are held at the school board, students can arrive within 6 weeks without affecting their credits, which is more flexible and suitable for students who are late for their visas.
The ATP program is designed to help students improve their English language skills while laying a good foundation for future high school admissions. Since students need good grades to enter university, the School Board wants international students to develop English language skills before attending general high school courses with other Canadian students.
In addition, students are more familiar with the school board teachers and know who to go to for help when they encounter difficulties, and are COMFORTABLE to go to teachers.
Also, there is an advantage to applying to a February school if you enter in September. The EDB is not as tight for February positions. They arrive early and apply early. The possibility of going to the school of your choice will increase.
In addition, the Victoria School Board tracks and finds that students who take the ATP and then enter the regular high school program are much better off than students who enter the regular school board program directly without first doing the ATP. the ATP program gives students confidence. Once they arrive at their assigned high school they do better.
