Overview
The MFR of Fjord project proposes a new concept in education by alternating between work (2 weeks in training), studies (2 weeks in a boarding school) and practical pedagogy. The students will have a memorable experience living in a house with others who are similar to themselves and where they will have to share their daily lives. They will be offered evening activities (sports, cultural activities, etc) in order to help them discover new interests. The MFR of Fjord will establish its headquarters at the Petite Ecole de l'Anse-Saint-Jean community centre where connections will be made with community organizations that already exist. In addition, this new type of school will offer individual support, which will meet the particular needs of the students.
