Grade 7-8 Program

- Authentic, hands-on learning is a key element of Greenwood's Grade 7-8 program.

Greenwood’s Grade 7/8 program addresses the complex needs of the adolescent learner.

Course content follows the expectations outlined in the Ontario curriculum; what sets Greenwood apart is the personalized delivery of that content.

Some highlights of the Grade 7/8 program include:

Integration projects: These projects encourage students to apply knowledge from multiple subjects to real-world situations.
Block scheduling: Scheduling more than one section of the same course at the same time means multiple teachers can collaborate to meet the needs of their students. Teachers can also create mixed groups from their classes based on readiness. (For example, one group might work on an extension activity while another works on concept reinforcement.)
Reach-ahead opportunities: Reach-ahead math and extended French options provide additional challenge for students who have mastered core concepts. Students in this program can earn high school credits while in Grade 8.
Arts program with several choices: Our Grade 7-8 Arts program allows Grade 7 students to experience multiple areas of the arts — they choose from visual arts, media arts, vocal and instrumental music, art and design technology, and dramatic arts. In Grade 8, students have the opportunity to explore two of these areas in greater depth.

Over the course of the two-year program, Grade 7/8 students also earn one high school credit for the BTT1O course (Information and Communication Technology in Business). The expectations of this course, which focus on the effective use of business software and technology, are integrated with core academic subjects, allowing students to optimize their use of computer software across all subjects.

We acknowledge with gratitude the Ancestral lands upon which our main campus is situated. These lands are the Ancestral territories of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Anishinabek and the Wendake. The shared responsibility of this land is honoured in the Dish with One Spoon Treaty and as settlers, we strive to care for the land, the waters, and all creatures in the spirit of peace. We are responsible for respecting and supporting the enduring presence of all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. When away from this campus we vow to be respectful to the land by protecting and honouring it. We will create relationships with the people and the land we may visit by understanding the territories we enter and the nations who inhabit them.
