Grade 8 Reaching Up: Numeracy Preparation – Non Credit

Grades: 8, 9, 10

Success in secondary school courses depends largely on student’s literacy and numeracy, skills. The grade 9 Mathematics course builds upon the Grade 8 strands, while providing growth in new directions. Students in this course will cover the grade 9 strands.

  • The course will be divided into 2 – 2 week sessions
  • Students are encouraged to take both sessions, although the material is such that students can take Session 1  or Session 2
  • The approval of the day school  Principal is required before a  student can  register online for this program.

Student Well-Being
Focus of the program will be to help students build a better understanding and awareness of the following four domains of well-being:

  • Cognitive: The development of abilities and skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, creativity, and the ability to be flexible and innovative.
  • Emotional: This involves learning about experiencing emotions, and understanding how to recognize, manage and cope with them. 
  • Social: The development of self-awareness, including the sense of belonging, collaboration, relationships with others, and communication skills. 
  • Physical: The development of the body, impacted by physical activity, sleep patterns, healthy eating, and healthy life choices.

PLEASE NOTE:   External students are required to obtain the approval of their day school  Principal before they can register online for this program.
