Middle School Academics

Annie Wright Middle School provides students with a sound academic foundation in a supportive environment where structure and routine are balanced with the freedom to explore and develop individually.
The Middle School faculty is a dynamic group, passionate about teaching, attentive to students and parents, and knowledgeable of the particular needs of this age group. Teachers strive to bring out the best in their students and make the journey as fun and impactful as possible, and the learning support department is available to address individual needs.

Annie Wright's IB Middle Years Programme curriculum is both inquiry-based and interdisciplinary, and emphasizes the need to write, speak, and listen effectively. Students are challenged to think analytically and creatively and are given the opportunity to solve problems and make decisions. Integrity, the recognition of the interrelationships between people, responsible citizenship, and a sense of self-worth are important qualities in the Middle School.

Our one-to-one laptop program begins in Grade 6, with technology incorporated through various platforms and used in all classrooms. With the help of learning specialists, the faculty addresses individual differences in ability, skill development and learning styles.
