Mission Statement

The acquisition of the knowledge, attitudes, skills, and values required to successfully participate in, and contribute to a competitive and rapidly changing global society begins early in life and continues throughout one’s school career and beyond. ALC is thus a learning community where all strive to grow and achieve in an atmosphere of cooperation, consideration and respect for self and others. A positive school climate and a strong partnership between staff, students, parents and the wider community provide the foundation for each of our students to become active, responsible citizens. We all share the common goal of helping each student to develop to his or her personal potential.
