    Curriculum pace

    Accelerated
    The main curriculum accelerates beyond the pace of the provincial one; ALL students do the work of OLDER public-school peers in tangible and measurable ways. This accelerated pace is maintained by the teachers and school, (through textbook selection, topic selection, grading, assignment standards and expectations, etc).

    N/A

    Academic culture

    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”.

    THE SACRED HEART SCHOOL OF MONTREAL

    "Students at all-girls schools have higher aspirations and greater motivation than their female peers at coed schools because all-girls’ schools are specifically dedicated to the ways girls learn. Our dedicated, highly qualified faculty understand that girls learn differently than boys and all-girls’ schools are able to focus on girls’ unique learning styles. Our students are then inspired to become informed, engaged global citizens who lead with determination, competence, and empathy."
