About Suwa'lkh

​​Suwa'lkh School

Suwa'lkh is an alternative educational program.  It is open to students in grades eight to ten. Suwa'lkh means 'New Beginnings' in the Hul'qumi'num language.  Students follow the BC Curriculum and staff use collaboration and a trauma informed lens to work with families and students. ​TStudents who have struggled with connections at school for a variety of reasons work with staff to rebuild connections and transition to either their mainstream school or another alternate program for grades 11 and 12. As with all schools, First Peoples Principals of learning are imbedded in practice.  We provide academic programming, outdoor education opportunities, and a self-paced learning environment. We have a partnerships with the The Tzu Chi​ foundation, Rocky Point Fitness, YoBro/Girl, SHARE family services and many other community organizatons.   Students also have opportunities for community engagement through visiting at the SPCA and our local Seniors Centre.  Breakfast and lunch is provided for all students.
