RISE
Reaching Independence through Supported Education
The RISE program offers a small class size created to support students that have demonstrated success just below or significantly below the threshold for the Knowledge and Employability (K&E) program.
There are two levels of programming in the RISE classroom: Supported and Adapted. This supported classroom is intended to offer a smooth transition into the world.
Knowledge and Employability (K&E)
The Knowledge and Employability courses are designed for students who meet the criteria and learn best through experiences that integrate essential and employability skills in occupational contexts. The courses provide students opportunities to enter into employment or continue their education. The Knowledge and Employability route is a sequence of courses rather than a program and credit allocations. Students enrolled in this program obtain a Certificate of Achievement. Students in the K&E program will have the opportunity to upgrade and earn a High School Diploma.

LEAP Program
Learning Everyday, Achieving Potential
The LEAP Program at ESBCHS meets the needs of students who have physical, intellectual, communication or multiple exceptionalities. Individualized special education programming and/or services are developed to help each student achieve their potential.
The LEAP program focuses on the core areas of Communication, Literacy and Numeracy. In addition to the core subject work, students will also be exposed to curriculum from Music, Art, Science and Social Studies to provide a well-rounded educational program. Students in the LEAP program will be registered in appropriate complementary courses in an inclusive setting. The final core element of this program is to provide each student with the opportunity to develop life and work skills that will assist in their transition to the community after high school.
