About Us

Through agricultural education, students are provided opportunities for leadership development, personal growth and career success. Agricultural education instruction is delivered through three major components:

• Classroom/Laboratory instruction (contextual learning)
• Supervised Agricultural Experience programs (work-based learning)
• Student leadership organizations (National FFA Organization, National Young Farmer Educational Association and National Post-secondary Agricultural Student Organization).
