Our approach to language and math in the Intermediate Program is rooted in the Ontario curriculum, but personalized to meet each student’s goals, pace, and learning profile. Students work toward mastery of essential skills while also developing the study habits and academic behaviors they need for long-term success.

Language instruction emphasizes the continued development of core skills in reading, writing, and oral communication. Students strengthen their ability to express themselves clearly, thoughtfully, and confidently across a variety of contexts—whether in academic writing, presentations, or group discussions.

In math, we use Jump Math as our primary resource, supplemented with a range of enrichment tools to deepen understanding and support individual learning needs. Students build on foundational concepts through a mastery-based approach that encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and real-world application.

With increased independence, students are guided to take ownership of their progress—learning how to assess their own needs, seek support when needed, and manage their time and responsibilities. This individualized model fosters not only academic growth but also the development of executive functioning skills such as organization, goal-setting, self-advocacy, and follow-through—equipping students to take greater responsibility for their learning in preparation for the years ahead.
