    N/A

    Intellectual
    The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."
    Social
    The goal is to cultivate "socially aware and active citizens, motivated to change the world (or their community) for the better."

    Progressive

    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?

    ROSTHERN JUNIOR COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL

    "A distinctive of RJC from other boarding high schools is our focus on cross-curricular and interdisciplinary learning. Our goal is for students to learn more about themselves and the world around them through the courses they take. This is done through our grade-based initiatives (Grade 10 IMAGINE, Grade 11 THRIVE, Grade 12 EXPLORE). In these programs, RJC utilizes academic best-practices and community partners to offer unique, out-of-the-classroom learning experiences."

All RJC students have access to diverse academic, physical, and emotional supports during their time as a student. Included in this is an incredible meal plan, which offers healthy and diverse food options for students. If students require additional supports, they are welcome to connect with the VP of Student Life."

In a typical year, approximately 80% of our students are involved in the athletics program, 91% are involved in the music and arts program, and 80% of RJC students join a school club. We believe when students are invested and involved in activities they are able to thrive in all aspects of learning."
