Intellectual Development

Our students will learn key academic skills - like reading, writing and math - to encompass the knowledge and processes associated with intellectual development. As learners and meaning-makers, students take subject-specific concepts and content and transform them into a new understanding. 

Goals

  • Improve student success in literacy. ​
  • Improve student success in numeracy. ​

Literacy Enhancement

Literacy Support
Our school was pleased to welcome a literacy expert who co-taught in classrooms and worked alongside staff to strengthen instructional practices. Through targeted modeling, collaborative planning, and in-the-moment coaching, this specialist supported both students and teachers in developing effective literacy strategies. Their work helped build a consistent, research‑informed approach to reading and writing across the school, ultimately enhancing student engagement and achievement.
Reading groups
We have been working intentionally to strengthen outcomes for our developing readers by implementing interactive, leveled literacy groups designed to provide targeted, responsive instruction. These structures allow students to engage with appropriately scaffolded texts and evidence‑based strategies, ensuring they acquire the foundational literacy skills necessary for long‑term academic success and lifelong learning.
