A.R. MacNeill Secondary School

Philosophy:

MacNeill was founded on the guiding principles of effective practice, flexibility, and choice. We believe that positive relationships among students, teachers and family coupled with a challenging academic core are fundamental to student success. As part of a community of learners, we believe in extending learning beyond the walls of the school building. Students learn to set goals and formulate plans for healthy intellectual, physical, emotional and social development.
