Traditional Schools are a choice program operating within the public school system.Students attend from throughout the school district and from outside of the district. The prescribed curriculum and regulations of the British Columbia Ministry of Education are followed, with an emphasis on a consistent, structured approach to education.

Clearly defined standards for achievement, behaviour, and conduct charaterize the approach of traditional schooling. Traditional schools are defined by ten tenets that express the emphasis of the traditional educational system.
