RESIDENCE Pickering College offers two residence houses - one for boys, one for girls. Each residence family is comprised of nine students of from grades 9-12, from various cultural backgrounds, along with an Associate Faculty Member (family head), a Proctor and residence staff members. The residence family proactively supports each student’s general well-being and academic achievements. Family members help plan outings, activities, games, and celebrate birthdays, holidays and other milestones. Students gain increased confidence in their ability to live independently and can more easily transition to residence life in university. Residence rooms are shared between 2 students. Both residence buildings conform to contemporary standards of comfort and safety, with televisions, common-room areas and laundry facilities for students. Personal tablet laptops (with wifi) are utilized throughout the Senior School and each Pickering student is assigned a personalized email for ongoing communication. 3 meals + 1 snack are served daily. Students are members of one of 4 school “houses”, which compete in various school activities.

ACADEMIC CURRICULUM The school operates on a linear school system and the year is divided into 3 terms: September - December, January – March and April –June. Middle School (grades 7-8): Our 21st century integrative, exploratory approach to learning in the Middle School connects students to the real world. We emphasize the development of rational and critical thinking through project based learning. Students use digital tools to explore, communicate and collaborate. Opportunities abound for students to pursue their strengths, particular skills, talents or interests whether in music, art, drama, leadership or athletics. Upper School (grades 9-12): Our Senior School program prepares students for university while also encouraging them to make a difference in the world as ethical, compassionate and values-based decision-makers. Using the latest technology, including tablet PCs and Internet-based learning tools, our academic curriculum focuses on excellence and innovation while ensuring students have a solid understanding of core subjects. We offer a broad range of programs for those wishing to pursue humanities, sciences, math, business studies, arts, and languages (including English as a second language). The following is a list of some of our popular course offerings. Biology, Calculus, Media Studies, Vocal Music, Chemistry, Functions & Relations, Politics, Instrumental Music, Physics, Data Management, Spanish, Guitar, Environmental Science, French, Sociology, Visual Art, Computer Science, Business, Philosophy, Drama, Communications Technology, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Family Studies, World History, Media Arts, English, English as a Second Language, Health & Physical Education, Accounting, Geography

COMPUTERS / LAPTOPS LAPTOP: MANDATORY Pickering College’s laptop program is about much more than simply outfitting students with computers. It is about creating an online community of learning by improving access to quality resources, encouraging increased collaboration, introducing new ways of learning and working and streamlining the flow of information. To support our students, our Help Desk operates all year long, providing technical support and “tune ups” as needed to improve the performance of students’ laptops. Wifi is available on school laptops only.

ESL The school’s ability to provide students with special attention allows Pickering College to welcome international students with a solid level of ESL proficiency but who may require some ESL support. Students applying for senior level grades (grades 11 and 12) should possess an advanced level of English to succeed in the challenging academic curriculum. Upon arrival, students are assessed for their reading, listening, speaking, writing and comprehension abilities. Additional charges will be applied for this programme and billed directly to the student’s personal school account.
