Aldergrove School’s Citizenship Framework supports the creation and maintenance of a welcoming, caring, respectful, safe, and inclusive learning environment, which is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards.

Comprehensive School Health is an internationally recognized framework for supporting improvement in students’ educational outcomes while addressing school health in a planned and integrative way. It is based on an understanding that healthy students learn better and achieve more. Schools play a role in influencing the encouragement of healthy lifestyle choices, and in promoting student health and well-being generally. Physical wellness is an important dimension of well-being and includes the components of healthy eating and an active lifestyle.
