  Intellectual

  The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."

  Balanced

  Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.

  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

  Rigorous

  A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

  Preschool/K curriculum

  N/A

  Academic

  Academic-based preschools and Kindergartens are the most structured of the different types, and have a strong emphasis on math and reading readiness skills. These programs aim to expose children to what early-elementary school is like. While time is still allotted to free play, much of the day is built around explicit lessons guided by the teacher. Classrooms often resemble play-based ones (with different stations set up around the room), but at an Academic program the teacher leads students through the stations directly, and ties these activities to a whole-class lesson or theme.

  "Our bilingual program is second to none! Teaching both official languages as first languages, having homeroom French teachers who are, without exception, themselves French speakers combined with the careful attention paid to ensuring a balance of French and English activities within the school (guest speakers, book fairs, morning announcements, student assemblies etc...) ensures that our students leave Académie Westboro Academy as confident communicators in English and in French.
  
  In addition to this, our smaller student body (maximum total enrolment is 176 students), small, caring and dedication staff and faculty team fosters a unique sense of community. One where everybody knows each other and everyone has a voice and feels seen and valued."

  "Because our days are split 50/50 between French language instruction and English language instruction, this means that potential students coming to us in Grades 2-3 must already have a foundation of understanding of French. Students arriving in Grades 4-8 must have an even greater foundation of understanding and communicating in French in order to be successful here. This means, that unfortunately, we are unable to admit older students who have had little to no exposure to French."

  "Families who prioritize bilingualism, strong academics as well as a caring and nurturing environment for their child(ren) are an ideal fit for our school. Because we welcome parent involvement (guest speakers, science fair judges, board members, various committee and events), parents who like to take an active role in their child(ren)'s school also enjoy this aspect (though, involvement can be as limited or as in depth as individuals time permits)."
