Middle School Program at Pickering College (Grades 6-8)
Pickering College has allowed us to grow. More importantly, it has given us the courage and the confidence to take the next step, start our next journey. This journey—of course—high school, where once again we will be finding ourselves in a vast ocean of possibilities. We each have the power to be who we want to be. We can steer ourselves in any direction we choose. And we are so lucky to be at a school where we know there will always be someone there to support us. Although this may seem like a big step—and it is a big step—I am certain Pickering College has prepared us to take the road ahead. –Grade 8 Valedictorian Middle School students are a unique group of learners. During the middle years students experience significant changes—physically, intellectually, morally and social-emotionally. The academic growth and personal development experienced during these important years significantly impacts their futures. The stage for success at the secondary and post-secondary level is set in the middle grades. Our educators value interdisciplinary studies and make decisions about programming that reflect the needs, interests and special abilities of the students. Our team oriented approach to teaching and learning creates exciting experiences for all students.
