Grade 6 High School Transition Program

Our Grade 6 High School Transition Program equips students for academic, social, and emotional success as they prepare to enter High School. Our guided approach is designed to:

Recognize the pivotal developmental stage of young adolescents

Position them to become confident leaders within the Elementary School community

Introduce them to the skills and routines in preparation for High School

By nurturing independence, fostering positive relationships, and instilling confidence and ownership in their educational trajectory, our Grade 6 students are empowered to seamlessly adapt to Grade 7 and thrive in their new environment.

Students spend one day per week at the High School where they integrate academically, socially, and emotionally over the course of the year. This is an opportunity to become familiar with High School teachers, routines, and facilities such as our state-of-the-art theatre, robotics workshop, and fitness centre, all of which support a smooth transition to Grade 7.

With the guidance of their Grade 6 teacher, a typical day will include:

Attending classes at the High School
Taking part in the High School Advisor Program
Mentorship with Big Brothers/Big Sisters
Connecting with junior and senior students
Participating in co-curricular activities with High School teachers, and students
