Students and parents can find out more about the school district's academy programs at an open house tomorrow in Ladner.
"Folks can come out and have their questions answered and learn more about the programs and how they work," says district vice principal of academies and choice programs Paige Hansen.
Teacher coordinators, coaches and students from the various academies will be in attendance, she notes.
Examples of offerings include baseball, dance, film acting/film production and hockey.
An opera and performance academy, put on in conjunction with the Vancouver Opera, enters its second year and is really designed for students who love performance, Hansen says.
Academies are credited elective courses instructed and coached by teachers and industry professionals and provide expanded education choices for secondary students, says Hansen.
Academies have costs and are open to students from grades 8 to 12.
The open house takes place Saturday, Feb. 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Delta School District office, 4585 Harvest Dr., Ladner.
