    Curriculum pace

    N/A

    Standard-enriched
    Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

    Academic culture

    N/A

    Supportive
    A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

    What do you do differently and uniquely well?

    TORONTO DISTRICT CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL

    "What makes us different is the lengths we go in getting to know each student who walks through the door. It goes beyond academics—we want to know the person. That's why we offer over 40 clubs, mixed grade homerooms, regular assemblies, and plenty of opportunities to have each student find a place in our school that's their own. As a staff, we meet weekly to discuss students who seem to be struggling academically or socially. It's truly a caring environment!"

All of our staff are Christian, all of our classes are taught through the lens of Christianity, and we really believe that life is about service to our neighbours and God.
