The Learning Connection's
Principles of Education

All students can learn.

Students learn in different ways.

Students learn in different timeframes.

Errors are inherent in the learning process.

Formative assessments should be frequent.

Life circumstances do not inhibit the ability to learn.

The Learning Connection is an alternative, non-traditional education centre under the jurisdiction of Grande Yellowhead Public School Division #77. TLC locations can be found in the Edson, Hinton and Grande Cache communities. TLC schools provide kindergarten through grade 12 programming in flexible and friendly learning environments.

Programming for children kindergarten through ninth grade can be arranged with the TLC Home Education Facilitator. TLC offers K-9 programming that follows the Alberta Education curriculum.

High school programming is available for students in grades 10 through 12. Students can obtain all requirements for an Alberta High School Diploma at any of our TLC locations. The high school program is designed for students who want to earn their high school diploma but find it difficult to be successful in a traditional school.
