Similar to the goals of our Young High Achiever’s Program, the High Achievers Program is designed for students to become more involved in projects and learn from educational pursuits that fearlessly challenge standardized approaches.
Little Mountain Learning Academy’s ultimate success is measured when all students aspire to independent enquiry, develop a thirst for knowledge, and are instilled in the ability to take responsibility to further their own learning. Advancement for High Achievers results in students with the skills and confidence to leap forward and approach learning objectives head on.
Little Mountain Learning Academy’s High Achievers are symbolized by a deer which represents longevity and friendship.
