Junior Years

Students are at the centre of learning and construct their knowledge and understanding by focusing on the "big ideas" in the curriculum

Teachers observe and document student interests and guide students through the inquiry process, problem-solving models, and design thinking

Teaching and learning is connected to current events and issues, and encourage social justice, activism, and change-making

Students engage in hands-on learning during field studies, design challenges, and project work while the teachers guide and support them

Technology is a key component to students' inquiries and project work

Students engage in problem solving, reasoning and proving, reflecting, connecting, communicating, and representing their thinking and learning
