“By being part of the 7/8 program I’ve become<br />
more familiar with the people and the high school<br />
surroundings. I’m looking forward to high school.<br />
In fact, I’ll have a <strong>Grade</strong> 9 credit to start with!”<br />
Morgan, <strong>Grade</strong> 8 Student<br />
Algoma District School Board<br />
“This dynamic program offers various<br />
advancements for the students. These include:<br />
a technology class, partial rotary, a student and<br />
athletic council, yearbook and reach ahead<br />
experiences. As a teacher, I feel that these<br />
opportunities prepare students for their future<br />
secondary and post-secondary education. A<br />
7-12 program provides an innovative, exciting<br />
educational experience.”<br />
Teacher, 7-12 <strong>Program</strong><br />

WHY ENROL IN GRADE 7 AND 8 AT KORAH COLLEGIATE<br />
Korah strives to provide the best possible<br />
educational environment, one which enables the<br />
individual to realize intellectual and personal potential<br />
within an atmosphere of cooperation and respect.<br />
The Korah 7 and 8 <strong>Program</strong><br />
Our 7-12 <strong>Program</strong> 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 />
<strong>Grade</strong> 7 and 8 students find themselves in an<br />
environment that includes specialized rooms,<br />
lockers, a cafeteria, athletics, extra-curricular clubs<br />
and laptop technology.<br />
Depending on timetable availability, <strong>Grade</strong> 8 students<br />
(in consultation with parents) can reach ahead and<br />
take a <strong>Grade</strong> 9 class. They receive credit for the<br />
course giving them a head start in high school.<br />
Strong relationships with caring adults are important.<br />
<strong>Grade</strong> 9 students often reach back to access<br />
their <strong>Grade</strong> 7 and 8 teachers for academic advice,<br />
counseling and support in their <strong>Grade</strong> 9 and 10 years.<br />
