Grade 7 and 8 Literacy & Numeracy Program
A separate program will be presented to students of each grade level. These are not pass/fail programs. Students will explore various learning strategies that will help them become more independent learners while increasing their personal management skills in school. Students will work on developing a range of strategies to improve their learning and achievement, particularly in the areas of literacy and numeracy. Click here for details.
Grade 7 and 8 ESL Program
The summer literacy program for English language learners (ELLs) is designed for Grade 7 & 8 students who are at early stages of English acquisition. The program focuses on oral language development and vocabulary building, as well as supporting the development of reading and writing skills.
Instructional strategies are used that prepare and further develop ELLs’ ability to participate and be successful in Ontario’s education system.
The summer literacy program provides an environment where students are encouraged and supported in taking the necessary risks to develop their proficiency in English. Click here for details.
Thames Valley Museum School
“Preserving Ontario’s Educational Heritage”
A visit to the Thames Valley Museum School is like embarking on a personal journey through local history. A reminder of Ontario’s educational heritage, the Museum School provides students, educators, and the general public a unique, hands-on experience.
This summer children will have the opportunity to explore their artistic and creative talents through the theme-based, children’s programs. Students will be excited about learning through the Museum School’s varied educational programs. Interactive role playing and hands-on activities provide learning experiences that augment regular classroom studies.
Programs are typically offered during March Break, throughout the summer holidays, P.A. Days, and on special event days. Registration is limited to 20 participants per program.
