Primary/secondary Education - Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
Académie de la Capitale, a bilingual private school, was established in 1998. The chosen AcadeCap syllabus, from the Early Years to grade 6, is the International Baccalaureate (IB©) Primary Years Next (authorized). It embraces a transdisciplinary approach, ensuring that learners make connections between, across, and beyond subjects. We've blended in the subject-specific content of the Ontario Ministry of Education elementary curriculum. This combination takes any preconceived limitations away from the scope and depth of students' learning. The result is a constantly motivated and challenged student body. It's an approach that requires not only teachers, but also specialists and ultimately mentors, to function. In Grades 7 and 8, AcadeCap's Pre-Secondary School Programme (PSSP) emphasizes intellectual challenges, guiding students to make connections between their studies in traditional subjects and the real world. It provides academic challenges and approches to learning to complement the subject disciplines of the Ontario curriculum. The PSSP ensures that students have the opportunity to learn by engaging with both local and global contexts and by developing the first tier of our 21st Century Core Competencies Curriculum.In Grades 9 to 12, our students continue on with the Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) recognized by universities around the world. By way of the second and third tier of our 21st Century Core Competencies Cursus, our students are prepped with extensive conceptual understanding, knowledge, and agency to achieve academic success and admission to post-secondary programmes of choice.
