Bridging Elementary and Advanced Learning
Students typically start Middle School at eleven years of age. At this crucial stage, links are being made between different areas of the curriculum to learning in the context of real life. Our Junior Secondary School program prepares students for the specialized academic challenges ahead while nurturing their developing interests and talents.
Creative and critical thinking are actively encouraged in Middle School. Subjects become more specialized as students begin to develop interests in specific subject areas and extracurricular skills such as sports, drama, and music. We provide the guidance and support needed during this important transitional period.
