In addition to the foundational program offered
under the English umbrella, we offer the following specialized courses:
Congregated Gifted Program, Enriched, the Advanced Placement Program, Phast
Paces (Hospital for Sick Children / Phonological & Strategy Training
Remedial Reading Intervention Program), Media Studies, E.S.L., The Writer’s
Craft, and after-school literacy classes.
To promote literacy and enrich the learning
experience of our English students, we provide a wide variety of exciting
programs, activities and opportunities ranging from Poetry Cafes, trips to the
Stratford Festival, Dramatic Re-enactments, eClass Online Learning, and
magazine-making, to name just a few. These efforts have borne fruit as our students have consistently maintained an
impressive 80% or higher passing rate in the Grade 10 Ontario Secondary School
Literacy Test over the past five years. This year, we have just been
designated as an Honour School for Poetic Achievement because of our excellent
Language Arts program.
