    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?

    BLYTH ACADEMY THE GLEBE, OTTAWA

    "There is no student that gets lost in the crowd or is overlooked in the classroom. Staff quickly make sure they know each student’s learning style and academic needs. Beyond that, the supportive guidance department has an extremely low student to guidance counsellor ratio, ensuring that each individual has as much time as they need to discuss academics or social/personal challenges."

    To your knowledge, why do families choose your school over others?

    BLYTH ACADEMY THE GLEBE, OTTAWA

    "We keep our class sizes small so students get regular and personalized teacher attention. This helps them feel comfortable asking questions and collaborating with their peers and their teachers. Teachers quickly learn the strengths and weaknesses of their students and are able to tailor their lessons to the various learning styles of their students, and implement accommodations effectively when necessary."

    What aspect of your school is underappreciated?

    BLYTH ACADEMY THE GLEBE, OTTAWA

    "The level of flexibility that we can provide with our four-term structure and our various course delivery options ensures that we are able to accommodate most schedules and academic requirements. Students can be in a classroom with 10 others during first period, followed by a private course where they benefit fully from the attention of their private teacher. Students study only two courses per term intensively without the distraction of multiple teachers, transitions and assignments daily."

    What might families find surprising about your school?

    BLYTH ACADEMY THE GLEBE, OTTAWA

    "Students often look at a private school as a formal environment where teachers talk at the students and the students sit, listen and take notes. This could not be further from the truth in our case. While they do get an excellent, enriching education, they do so in a relaxed environment where they learn while engaging with peers and teachers, having fun, participating in school clubs and school-wide events. All this leads to a feeling of belonging which aids in their overall academic success."
