The '''Triangle Program''' is an [[alternative education]] program in [[Toronto|Toronto, Ontario]], Canada, designed for [[gay]], [[lesbian]], [[bisexuality|bisexual]] and [[transgender]] students who are at risk of dropping because of [[homophobia|homophobic]] and [[transphobia|transphobic]] harassment in regular schools or need supports and flexibility around struggles with mental health, housing, or other social struggles. <br />
<br />
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. It was created as an organization in 1995, and launched its first classes in 1996.<ref>Alanna Mitchell, "Welcome to Canada's gay high school: Toronto's Triangle program offers an educational refuge". ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', May 29, 2004.</ref><br />
<br />
In conjunction with the LGBT youth organization [[Supporting Our Youth]], Triangle also holds its own annual [[prom]] during Toronto's [[Gay Pride Week]].<br />
<br />
The school day is divided into two halves. For the first half of the day students work on self-directed studies or smaller teacher-led classes. The afternoon is spent in a classroom setting, working on curriculum with a gay, lesbian and transgender focus. Units on LGBTQ history, healthy sexuality and equity and oppression allow gay, lesbian and transgender youth the opportunity to experience education geared to them.<br />
