Island Pacific School ADMISSIONS

Student Science Fair & Open House ~ Everyone is welcome!

Have you ever wondered if plants grow upward even if they are planted upside down? Or if your eye colour, age or gender will affect your ability to see colour? These are some of the questions the Grade 7 and 8 students are asking and hoping to find answers for their science fair projects. This is a busy time of year, but the enthusiasm is infectious and the learning is genuine for the students and their teacher.

Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2022
Where: Island Pacific School
Time: 6:15 – 7:15

Science Fair has become a favourite project for many middle school students as it gives them a chance to learn about things that they are curious about and interested in. By conducting experiments, they learn that they can find the answers to their own questions and it sparks a sense of wonder and curiosity that transfers to other aspects of their lives. Every year we see the students become excited about their topic.

Science Fair is a challenging project that requires students to complete many steps over a long period of time. It may also be complicated and require some higher level critical thinking and problem solving, but, no matter the level of difficulty or complexity, students learn about the scientific method and gain an appreciation for the role science plays in advancing our understanding of the world around us.

While the grade 7 and 8’s are busy conducting their experiments, the grade 6 class is learning about Newton’s Laws of Motion and will be exploring these concepts by creating dynamic Rube Goldberg machines.

Parents are welcome to join us to see the grade 6’s Rube Goldberg machines and the 7 and 8’s science projects at the school between 6:15 and 7:15.

Free Bus shuttle from Snug Cove at 6 pm and return shuttle at 7:15 pm

Now Accepting Admissions

Welcome to Island Pacific School (IPS). As an independent school of choice, we attract students and families that support the expressed mission, values, and philosophy of the school.  Small by design, Island Pacific School is a grade 6-9 middle school with one class for each grade, and 16-18 students in each class.  Our admissions process offers ample opportunity for both parents and the student to explore what Island Pacific School has to offer and whether our environment will be a good match.

Our Early Registration cycle is complete.  New applications must be submitted, and the admissions process completed, by February 17, 2023 to be considered for regular acceptance. Application outcome letters for Regular Acceptance will be sent by March 9, 2023. Late Admissions after February 17, 2023 will be considered based on availability and fit within a particular class.

• Students accepted in the Early Admissions cycle are typically highly engaged students who are a particularly good match for the Island Pacific School environment and programs.
