About
We are a hidden gem located in the quiet Bellevue-Highlands community. Our number one goal is ensuring students find success. We believe that education is about building character and preparing students for life and learning beyond high school. Eastglen has a wide range of interesting avenues and options to explore.
Eastglen's Goals:
Academic success: students and staff focus on academic achievement.
Focused learning environments: school and classroom learning environments support our academic goals. Eastglen feels orderly, purposeful and friendly.
Post-secondary preparation: staff work with students, families and post-secondary institutions to ensure all students have clear goals, appropriate supports and the necessary entrance requirements.
Citizenship and community: all students feel welcome and have a strong sense of school pride. Students are connected in an inclusive web of learning and support.
