Welcome to St. Norbert Adult Education Centre!
The St. Norbert Adult Education Centre (SNAEC) believes in providing students with a stimulating, supportive and positive environment in which students can realize their potential as thinking, caring, and lifelong learners. We strive to maintain an atmosphere where individuals feel safe and valued as members of the school community. We are a community of learners that welcomes a diversity of experience and background. Our team approach and student centered attitude supports students in setting and achieving their academic goals. Striving to provide a positive and inviting environment, we encourage students to take an active role in acquiring skills and knowledge.
At SNAEC, we offer adult students an alternative to a "regular" high school setting. Here, students can complete their high school diploma or upgrade their education by taking specific courses they need or desire. The SNAEC Adult Education program is designed for mature adults and is, therefore, very different from regular high school. The atmosphere is relaxed and respectful. Students set their own educational goals and design their own schedule within the framework of the semester system in use. To participate, students must be at least 19 years of age.
SNAEC is operated by the Behavioural Health Foundation in partnership with Winnipeg Technical College. There is no tuition fee for students who qualify for this educational program. Funding for SNAEC is provided by Manitoba Education Adult Literacy and Learning (ALL) Initiative.
Drug and Alcohol Policy
SNAEC is located at the Behavioural Health Foundation’s main property in St. Norbert. In accordance to the policies and procedures of our partner, the Behavioural Health Foundation, and school guidelines, the St. Norbert Adult Education Centre has implemented a drug and alcohol free policy. No student is to be under the influence of alcohol or other drugs while present at the St. Norbert Adult Education Centre. Possession and/or use of alcohol, controlled and mood altering substances, or the misuse of prescription drugs while on the property of the St. Norbert Adult Education Centre is strictly forbidden. Any student caught in violation of this policy will be asked to leave the premises immediately and may be removed from all courses based on the decision of the Director of Education.
All students are expected to be respectful of staff and fellow students. If conflicts or behaviour difficulties arise, staff will facilitate communication and problem solving amongst those involved in an effort to resolve the issue. The Behavioural Health Foundation also reserves the right to ask students to leave the property if any behaviour results in disruption of learning or damage to property.
