Support students who are unique to teach and are Alberta’s very capable future graduates and employees – their future depends on it!

There is an overwhelming need to support students who:

• need/want minimal disruptions to learning due to pandemic-related circumstances
• are medically fragile or immuno-compromised,
• struggle with mental health challenges (anxiety, etc.),
• are Indigenous,
• experienced success learning online through COVID,
• are on the autism spectrum, have ADHD or other similar diverse learning needs,
• are 2SLGBTQ+,
• need a flexible schedule to allow them to work for a living or participate in high-level sports,
• are aging out of funded education as a result of COVID-related interruptions to learning; or
• need more time to complete high school…

…and whose learning needs are best met in the safe and caring online environment available through Ignite Centre for eLearning.

These are capable students who may have historically been viewed as challenging to support from an educational perspective, but we are removing barriers to provide access to a high quality, unique education program that helps them – and all students – experience success.

Every dollar raised through our fundraising efforts will go directly to student supports (eg. assistive technology, education assistants and youth worker supports, small class sizes, etc.) for our students. We also provide food and daily living items to our students and families in need, as well as covering school fees. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by the end of June, 2025 which will go a long way to ensuring that all students have access to our high quality online program, and providing financial support to those students and families in need.
