The Elementary Section of Delia School of Canada implements the Ontario, Canada Ministry of Education curriculum for students in Pre-Grade 1 through Grade 6. This program develops all areas of the student by focusing on four core academic areas, English, Mathematics, Science and Technology, and Social Studies, in addition to Health and Physical Education, The Arts - drama and dance, visual arts, and music, and International Language - French, Japanese and Putonghua. This very diversified program provides the foundations for life-long learning as student obtain knowledge and develop skills that will help them to become active, contributing members of the global society we are part of.
Our student-centred approach to learning develops thinking and communication skills, problem-solving skills, and social skills as well as fostering empathy and an appreciation of diversity. The integration of technology throughout the curriculum, beginning in Pre-Grade 1, assists students in using technology in safe and productive ways. This includes collaborating on-line and accessing learning support materials off site through our web-based learning platform. Curriculum-based field trips support our philosophy that learning occurs both within the classroom and outside in the community.
Students with limited experience in English are supported through our strong English as a Second Language (ESL) program. The ESL program, taught by specialist teachers, provides the foundations in literacy and academic language needed for academic success. An After School English Program, with a literacy focus, re-enforces skills mastered in the ESL program.
Learning continues in our after school Co-curricular program which is conveniently offered on campus. Supervised by Delia School of Canada teaching staff who are Canadian citizens and Ontario certified, the Co-curricular program offers students the opportunity to learn new skills, make new friends, and develop social skills as they participate in clubs and sports activities.
