From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City Park Collegiate is a high school in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, located in the City Park neighbourhood. It operates under a different program designed for troubled or challenged youth, but was originally opened as a standard program high school in Saskatoon. The school operated as a mainstream high school until 1984, leaving the residents of the city's north end without a public high school until the opening of Marion M. Graham Collegiate in the mid 1985. The school re-opened in 1986 as a special education high school. The school's student body are formed of many with various learning and developmental disabilities, along with those with social issues. The school offers attendance incentive programs to the students to encourage them to attend school regularly. In the early 1990's, the school added a grade 8 program designed for students who aren't ready to make the transition to the high school level. Many students who graduate the school don't meet the academic credentials as the school operates on a modified system. City Park Collegiate doesn't field any athletic teams, instead students who want to take up athletic programs usually participate with the teams at Bedford Road Collegiate.
