Grade 9 - Boarding

Program Description

In grade 9, students explore the arts, Canadian and world studies, classical studies, international languages, health and physical education, mathematics, native languages, native studies, fundamentals of sciences, social sciences and humanities, and technological education. The Middle Years Programme is a perfect fit for boys in early adolescence and excellent preparation for the IB Diploma Programme. The outstanding, well-rounded MYP offers:

• Rigorous learning objectives
• A focus on learning how to learn
• A student-centred approach to teaching — we encourage students to drive their own learning
• Global perspectives
• Concern for the whole child
• Sustained learning in more than one language
• The development of “flexible thinking” that prepares students to evaluate information critically and apply knowledge in complex, unfamiliar situations

One of the eight subject groups is design, in which boys have the opportunity to apply practical and creative thinking skills to solve design problems. UCC's innovative design courses cover three streams: digital media design, coding and programming, and innovative product design.
