[Show: About Progressive?]
What CCIA says about their overall curriculum and approach:
Our teachers acknowledge students learn at different times and in different ways therefore they use an interactive teaching strategy to best suit students' learning profiles. Our teachers are facilitators and mentors, encouraging critical thought and self-reflection, while also promoting cooperative and independent learning. We provide an enriched, balanced curriculum with a focus on core academics, as well as music, art, and drama. We offer continuous, varied and appropriate formative as well as summative assessments which provide evidence of every student's learning progress. This information helps teachers immediately flag areas of concern and help students in that subject. Triangulation assessments also help students, parents and teachers select attainable learning goals. For students in high school, we administer Aptitude Tests to help each student plan their further education. The high school programs offer a rigorous university preparatory curriculum and give special attention to soft skills needed for success such as organization, self-advocacy, note-taking, study skills, collaboration, and communication.

Mathematics
Mathematics approach at CCIA: Equal Balance
CCIA has an Equal Balance approach to Mathematics (as opposed to Traditional Math, Discovery Math approach).
[Show: About Equal Balance?]What CCIA says:
Our Grade 1 through 8 Mathematics program is built around the Ontario Curriculum and is delivered with a Singapore Math approach. Singapore math ensures a foundational mastery in underlying mathematical procedures using a three-stage learning process which moves from concrete, to pictorial, and then abstract. The Singapore Math approach ensures social-emotional well being for students as they develop confidence, and comfort with mathematical thinking. Additionally, both our elementary and Grade 9 programs follow the updated curriculum strands with the use of Scratch ™ coding as the mode of instructional delivery for programming. Our approach goes above and beyond the ministry requirements in that we incorporate coding practices and principles into all Mathematical strands. The high school mathematics program closely follows the Ontario Mathematics curriculum. The program emphasizes mastery of a wide range of mathematical skills and logic-based thinking, with regular opportunities for discovery through proofs, manipulatives, and technology.

[Show: About Equal Balance?]What CCIA says:
Literary analysis is key to the development of critical thinking. Our teachers choose both classic and contemporary literary texts that resonate with students and promote discussion, critique and debate. Students are encouraged to make connections to themselves, the text, and the world around them as they read and listen to literary text. Students engage in reading comprehension and vocabulary exercises, as well as written response journals, as they build their thinking skills. We have been successful in increasing students’ reading interest through reading clubs which foster offline discussions and help students understand the historical and social context of the text being read. This leads to a deeper understanding and a greater sense of achievement. Emphasis is on the use of the personal growth model which encourages students to draw their own opinions, express their feelings, and use personal experiences and the text to develop their writing skills.

What CCIA says about their course flexibility:
We understand the importance of providing students with the convenience and freedom to learn at their own pace. As such, there is no fixed registration deadline for these courses. Students can register at almost any time throughout the academic year. Additionally, we have designed our online courses to be self-paced, allowing students to progress through the material at a speed that suits their individual learning style and schedule. There is no firm end date for course completion, giving students the flexibility to take the time they need to fully grasp the subject matter. We also recognize that each student's circumstances may differ, so there is no minimum course load requirement. Whether a student wants to take just one course or multiple courses simultaneously, they have the freedom to choose what best aligns with their academic goals and commitments. Our aim is to create a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where students can access high-quality education and achieve their academic aspirations on their terms. Through our flexible online courses, we empower students to take control of their learning journey and thrive in their studies.

These courses do not require any real-time, face-to-face interactions, offering maximum flexibility to students. All course content, lectures, assignments, and assessments are available online through our learning platform. Students can access and engage with the course materials from anywhere with an internet connection, making it suitable for learners who may have geographical or time constraints. Distance learning emphasizes independent study and self-discipline, allowing students to manage their own learning journey and progress through the course materials at their own speed.
Asynchronous: Our asynchronous online courses offer a flexible learning experience, allowing students to access course materials and lectures at their convenience. Unlike synchronous courses, there is no fixed schedule for live sessions, giving students the freedom to study at their preferred pace and time. All course materials, including pre-recorded lectures, discussion forums, and assignments, are available online, ensuring students can access and review them whenever suits their schedule best. Asynchronous learning accommodates diverse learning styles, enables self-directed learning, and empowers students to balance their education with other commitments.
Synchronous: In our synchronous online courses, students participate in real-time, interactive virtual classes with their instructors and peers. These courses follow a structured schedule, where students are expected to log in at specific times for lectures, discussions, and collaborative activities. The advantage of synchronous learning is that it fosters immediate engagement and allows for direct interaction with the instructor, creating a virtual classroom experience that closely resembles traditional in-person classes. Students can ask questions, receive immediate feedback, and engage in group activities in real-time, enhancing the sense of community and active learning.
