Small School : Big Ideas
Lucerne School is one of the few K-12 schools in the province. We are
located in the resort village of New Denver in the beautiful West Kootenays.
Perhaps the clear air and pristine wilderness have blessed us with a surfeit
of creative approaches to education... Certainly a commitment to creative
and imaginative educational practice, as well as excellence, is a role we
take on with pride.
Despite a high school population (Grades 7 - 12) of only 60 students, we
offer a full high school program which combines regular classroom
instruction in multi-grade groupings, an innovative approach to Work
Experience, on-line courses available through Selkirk College and through
our Facilitated Learning Centre, and, two amazing experiential learning
weeks each year we call Spring into Learning and Fall into Learning.

We are proud to create powerful and imaginative learning experiences for
kids in our tiny rural school. Our students and staff are proud to share the
benefits of being small - and - educationally progressive.
Recognized across the region and the province for our talents in creating
much with little, we have presented at conferences in the East and West
Kootenays, at the Ministry of Education Grad symposium at Fairmont Hot
Springs in October 2002, 2003 and 2005; at Simon Fraser University’s
Imagination Education Research conference in 2005; at the Rural Educators
Conference in October 2006 and 2008, the Ministry’s Learning in Action Showcase in
December 2006 and 2007, and at Interactive Innovations in 2007
and 2008.
