We want to challenge each student at just the right level to continue to learn and grow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Every student needs different supports and we strive to provide them. Our goal is to send each individual off at the end of grade 9 with the skills, habits, and mindset that will allow them success in high school and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">We get four years with our students to help them navigate the journey of adolescence.\u00a0 We celebrate the curves and bumps along the trail, look forward to the hard work and sweat it takes to climb the steep parts, and of course enjoy the view along the way!<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Gila K\u2019asla<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Timms &#8211; Principal<\/p>\n<p>Lake Trail Community School<\/p>\n<p>phone: 250-334-3168<\/p>\n<p>email: kyle.timms@sd71.bc.ca<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"class_list":["post-693","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-23 02:32:09","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"post_tag","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/693","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/693\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":932,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/693\/revisions\/932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.comoxvalleyschools.ca\/lake-trail-community-school\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
