“I was a little nervous about going into high school<br />
but by being part of the 7 -12 school I was able<br />
to become more familiar with the people and the<br />
surroundings. I’m looking forward to high school.<br />
In fact, I even have a Grade 9 credit to start with!”<br />

“This dynamic program offers various<br />
advancements for the students. These include: a<br />
technology class, a full rotary, a student and athletic<br />
council, yearbook and reach ahead experiences.<br />
As a teacher, I feel that these opportunities prepare<br />
students for their future secondary and postsecondary<br />
education. A 7-12 program provides an<br />
innovative, exciting educational experience.”<br />
Teacher, 7-12 Program<br />

WHY ENROL IN GRADE 7 AND 8 AT KORAH COLLEGIATE?<br />
Korah Collegiate’s Mission Statement<br />
Korah strives to provide the best possible educational<br />
environment, one which enables the individual to<br />
realize intellectual and personal potential within an<br />
atmosphere of cooperation and respect.<br />
The Korah 7 and 8 Program<br />
Our 7-12 Program provides students with a<br />
gradual transition into secondary school. Students<br />
experience a partial rotary timetable, which makes<br />
the transition to a secondary school routine easier.<br />
Grade 7 and 8 students find themselves in an<br />
environment that includes specialized rooms, lockers,<br />
a cafeteria, athletics, extra-curricular clubs and laptop<br />
technology.<br />
Depending on timetable availability, Grade 8 students<br />
(in consultation with parents) can reach ahead and<br />
take a Grade 9 class. They receive credit for the<br />
course giving them a head start in high school.<br />
Another bonus…Grade 9 students often reach back<br />
to access their Grade 7 and 8 teachers for counseling,<br />
support and academic advice in their Grade 9 and 10<br />
years.<br />
Programming, Technology,<br />
& Facility Highlights!<br />
The Grade 7 & 8 curriculum remains the same in our<br />
