  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.

  "Our guidance program is extraordinary. The attention provided to each student in academics and mental health far exceeds the expectations of most. With university admissions becoming more competitive each year, students deserve one on one support from a knowledgeable and supportive counsellor. At Blyth, students don't wait weeks to see their counsellor, we have an open-door policy. Mental health plays a pivotal role. We are proud to have the necessary resources for social and emotional support."
