Programs and Services

Engineering / technology / robotics (ENTER Program) Aspen Park offers the ENTER Program (K–7), a hands-on, inquiry-based learning model that integrates engineering, new technology, robotics, and design as pathways to teach the BC core curriculum. The program is designed to build critical thinking, creative problem-solving, collaboration, and authentic, real-world application of learning, with mentorship opportunities for older students to support younger learners. Nutrition (BC Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program + Milk) The school participates in the BC Fruit and Vegetable Nutritional Program plus Milk. Student support / well-being and behaviour (PBIS + Code of Conduct) Aspen Park uses Positive Behavioural Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a tiered framework intended to improve social-emotional competence, academic success, and school climate by creating positive, predictable, and safe learning environments. The school code of conduct outlines expectations for respectful, safe behaviour and includes strategies such as W.I.T.S. (Walk away, Ignore, Talk it Out, Seek Help).

School Culture and Expectations

Aspen Park’s mission statement focuses on leadership, inclusion, caring for others/ourselves/the earth, and giving one’s best. The school states that students and staff are entitled to a safe, caring, and orderly environment, and it uses PBIS to support positive, predictable, and safe learning spaces. The code of conduct lists behaviours that will not be tolerated (including bullying/cyberbullying, harassment, threats, weapons, and substance-related behaviours) and affirms that discrimination is prohibited under BC Human Rights Code grounds (including race, religion, disability, sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity/expression). Students are encouraged to resolve conflicts using W.I.T.S. and to take responsibility for their behaviour.
