The Selis Leaders Program, supported by Swenam College, is a comprehensive educational initiative designed to develop the intellectual and leadership potential of students. This program offers a comprehensive curriculum that blends traditional academic subjects with modern, hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) education, ensuring that students are well-prepared for the challenges of the future. The program offers a well-rounded curriculum that includes both academic subjects and practical skills, with a focus on preparing students for future success in various fields. At the heart of the Selis Leaders Program are core subjects, including Math, Science, English, and French, all meticulously aligned with the British Columbia (BC) curriculum. This ensures that students receive a rigorous, well-rounded education that meets provincial standards. However, the Selis Leaders Program goes beyond the standard curriculum by delving deeper into each subject, enriching students’ knowledge and providing them with a more profound understanding of the material. To further enhance the learning experience, the Selis Leaders Program incorporates STEM principles into all core subjects. By integrating STEM into Math, Science, English, and French, students not only learn theoretical concepts but also see how these concepts apply in real-world situations. This approach encourages critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity, enabling students to develop skills that are essential for success in the modern world.
