2013 Brochure: Korah's Grade 7 & 8 Intermediate Program

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