Grades 7 and 8 are pivotal stages of development. Inquiry and project-based learning in these grades ensures that students are excited about and feel supported in their learning. The curriculum is exploratory, integrative and relevant. It provides a strong academic foundation for future learning in Grades 9 to 12.
Teachers provide a framework for student projects, helping to break the inquiry process down into manageable steps. They ensure that every student is challenged appropriately. A key component of any project is the creation of an exhibition or presentation, self-reflection and peer feedback. These three aspects prepare students to be self-aware learners and leaders.
