Curriculum
Two periods per day are devoted to the integrated teaching of reading and writing (ELA). Students read, write, view and respond to a variety of texts and videos to construct meaning. Emphasis is placed on writing and speaking English correctly in order to communicate clearly and appropriately. These skills are evaluated through written output and oral and visual presentations.
The goal is to develop students who are observant and responsible in an increasingly complex world. Throughout the year, students will engage in scientific inquiry and thinking to make sense of the world around them. Performance tasks will allow students to foster creativity and increase perseverance in planning and problem-solving. Students will also develop scientific literacy, numeracy and technology skills in science classrooms.
