Elementary

At the elementary level, from Grades 1–8, students develop literacy and numeracy skills for success in school and throughout their lives.

These early school years build a solid foundation for lifelong learning. As well, elementary students experience all the other benefits schools can provide – many of them outside the classroom. Students get involved in sports and creative pursuits, develop their problem-solving abilities, and learn important social and emotional skills.

Secondary

In secondary school, from Grades 9–12, Grand Erie students can explore interests, develop skills and work toward goals – with a range of learning options.

The secondary school years are exciting and challenging, as young people – with the support of parents and teachers — begin making choices about what and how they want to learn. For many, it’s also when they start thinking ahead to post-secondary education and careers.
