Junior and Middle School Program

Small class sizes, and qualified, experienced, helpful educators are essential to the success of our Junior and Intermediate program that follows the Ontario Ministry of Education curriculum.

Our students are encouraged to achieve academic excellence and to realize their full potential, building on the skills they have gained in their primary years, thus enabling them to become increasingly more independent and prepared for the challenges they will experience as they progress towards high school.

As our students enter this phase of their education that will take them through to grade 9, we place extra emphasis on achievement and advancement in English, Math, Science, and Critical Thinking and Analysis. While we recognize that memorization of facts supports a valuable framework for learning, our students are expected to apply factual information to the understanding of concepts, relationships, and problem solving.

Our junior and intermediate students are given a reasonable amount of daily homework, with at least ten minutes of assigned homework daily for each grade level. For example, a Grade Three student would receive approximately 30 minutes of homework daily, whereas a Grade Six student would receive approximately 60 minutes of homework each day.

Our students are continuously tested in an informal manner by our teachers, while periodic formal testing ensures that students are reaching and surpassing all academic requirements in each of their respective grades.

Small classes enable teachers to work with individual students and adapt lessons, assessment, and evaluation to accommodate an individual student's learning style when required.
