Alex, who recently completed Grade 7, will quickly tell you what impressed him the most about his experience at an all-boys school: the teachers. "They're just really nice and they focus on you. You feel like they really care," says Alex.
"Boys often have a different learning style than girls," says Tom Stevens, director of admissions at Royal St. George's College (RSGC), in Toronto, Ontario. "You can tell a young boy to sit and read a passage and write about it, but most boys would rather talk about a story and act it out."
RSGC adapts its curriculum and teaching methods to best suit the learning style of boys, Tom explains. For example, in his Grade 10 enriched math class, he often has small groups figuring out a problem together at the blackboard, rather than sitting at their desks and tackling it alone. "They're standing up and can move and, at the same time, they can get positive feedback from their fellow students, and I can clearly see how they're doing," Tom says.
Core courses like math, language, and sciences are held in the morning, music classes are held every day and phys-ed every other day. "The school day is structured to take into account the activity level of most boys," says Tom.
