L.E.A.P Week

Learning through Experience, Action, and Partnerships


Each year, we dedicate a week in the spring for our L.E.A.P Week experience. The purpose of this program is to allow for and encourage our students to expand their educational horizon beyond the typical classroom experience. Between individualized classes catered to exposing students to a variety of skills, internships within the community, and strategically designed service and educational experiences, students are able to explore different avenues of interests and passions prior to entering the next phase of their lives. Students gain valuable hands-on experience in areas typically not feasible within the typical high school curriculum. As students enter post-secondary education, many change their major multiple times in an attempt to determine the direction they would like to take their education. With the real world experience they gain through the L.E.A.P program at Westminster, students are a step ahead in determining the best route for them after graduation.
