Deer Program

Deer program is designed for students to become more involved in projects and learn education pursuits that fearlessly challenge standardized education. Students will become independent critical thinkers with a strong awareness of social justice and world issues. Studying in the Deer stream results in students with the skills and confidence to leap forward and approach learning objectives head on. After two years in the Deer stream, students will be prepared to enter the Rooster stream—part of Little Mountain’s Literature and Composition program.
