Program Description:
The Regional Alternative Education Centre (RAEC) provides educational opportunities for adult and teenage learners through individualized programs in an open classroom.  The Centre is a satellite classroom of W. C. Miller Collegiate for teenage students, an adult learning environment for adults wanting high school credits, and is the Altona site for Campus Manitoba.

Courses include Grades 9 to 12 core academic courses,  business-orientated credits such as computer, keyboarding, and accounting and optional credits such as family studies, psychology, and the civic service credits.  Courses are individualized to meet curricular outcomes and learners' needs. A computer management system holds course content and monitors learner progress.

Individualized learner programs mean that intake is continuous throughout the year.  Learning is self-paced, supported by teachers and educational assistants who set completion goals with students.  Different learning styles are accommodated through the varied pace, choices of learning activities, and diverse assessments.  Practical assignments are built into courses wherever possible.

RAEC runs on technology, so base line computer skills training is available and embedded in the learning at this ALC.  RAEC has established partnerships with local businesses to support learners, promote the adult learning centre, and offer upgrading to meet work requirements.
