Land-based Learning Curriculum
Lax Kw’alaams Wap Suwilaawksa offers land based learning for all students, including graduation credit for grade 9-12 students. The land-based learning curriculum focuses mainly on outdoor activities, rooted in Ts’msyen culture. This includes traditional ways of saying and doing things, with a large focus on harvesting. On days when the weather prevents outdoor activities, students can expect to create art or process traditional plants and medicines. A unique aspect of this curriculum involves the students sharing their harvests with local community elders.
