Philosophy, vision, purpose and values.
Life Without Barriers Education is for young people of high school age looking for a different way of doing school.
Philosophy
Education is a human right and provides pathways to positive and equitable futures.
At our schools, young people are at the centre of their learning journey, seeing themselves as learners and developing agencies, skills and talents for future pathways. Relationships held in an atmosphere of trust are key in Life Without Barriers Education.
Vision
Thriving, flexible, culturally responsive, inclusive, and fun schools that are hubs of community connection and learning.
Purpose
Hearing the voices of young people in all we do creates purpose for the school community. The school community responds by providing a quality, flexible, young person-centred education that celebrates every individual, fostering a sense of belonging, and providing the necessary resources for future pathways and success.
