Triangle Program
The Triangle Program is an alternative education program in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, designed for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students who are at risk of dropping out or committing suicide because of homophobic harassment in regular schools.
Operated by the Toronto District School Board at the campus of Oasis Alternative Secondary School, Triangle is the only program of its type in Canada.
In conjunction with the LGBT youth organization Supporting Our Youth, Triangle also holds its own annual prom during Toronto's Gay Pride Week.
The school day is divided into two halves. For the first half of the day students work independently, with the help of teachers, on curriculum such as math, science and English. The afternoon is spent in a classroom setting, working on curriculum with a queer focus. Units on LGBTQ history, healthy sexuality and equity and oppression allow queer youth the oppertunity to experience education geared to them.
