Information
Thomas Haney Secondary School (THSS) follows the Self-Directed Model and is currently part of The Canadian Coalition for Self-Directed Learning. At Thomas Haney students may choose to recreate their courses entirely on the Provincial Learning Outcomes, or they may follow ‘Learning Guides’ which were designed by the Thomas Haney Teachers. In the recent years a shift towards traditional structure has been seen but the Self-Directed system remains largely in place. Classes have been redesigned to a part-time basis, allowing the student to work independently between ‘seminars’ (classes).Thomas Haney has had a history of distinctive programs that have been made available for the students.
