The Learning Stores are the hub of Edmonton Public Schools' Outreach Programs. Learning Stores provide an educational alternative for students who find that the traditional high school setting does not meet their needs. Learning Stores provide individualized programming that enables students to access resources that improve their ability to achieve success academically and socially.
Learning Stores primarily serve high school students in Grades 11 and 12 at four different locations.

We organize our programs to fit the different lifestyles and learning styles of students who are returning to school, who enjoy working independently, who are employed, who are upgrading their course marks or just need flexibility in their schedules. Students work on individualized courses and are also encouraged to participate in our work experience programs which are a key component of each of our Learning Stores.
Courses at the Learning Stores can be started at any time, provided that there is enough time in the school year to complete them. Courses consist of a series of modules and it is expected that at least one module will be completed on a weekly basis. Students are also expected to attend a minimum of 10 hours per week and are required to write their learning assessments (e.g. quizzes, tests and exams) at the Learning Store.
Staff members believe students do well when they are challenged in a supportive and encouraging environment. Our goal is to help all students achieve their potential by maintaining high educational standards and nurturing excellent citizenship within a secure and safe environment. As such, staff members provide strong mentorship to students and assist them in setting realistic and achievable goals in their learning and career aspirations.
