The campus has population of approximately 100 spirited students, with 20 friendly and professional staff. The rural nature of the campus helps to create a family-type environment, whereby students are given all the supports they need to become successful, while enjoying student life.

There is a wealth of recreation options for all ages in both indoor and outdoor sports and fitness activities throughout the community from playgrounds, baseball and soccer fields to swimming, hockey, even ATV groups.

The Placentia region has the distinction of being home to or a short drive to such major tourism attractions as Castle Hill National Historical Park, Atlantic Charter Site, and the famous Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve.
