Middle School: Grade 6 to Grade 9
At Heritage,
Grades 6, 7, 8 and 9 help to transition our students from
Intermediate School to High School. About
one-half of the school day is spent with one teacher, but
students move from class to class for the rest of the day.
Students gradually develop the organizational skills and
self-discipline they need to work independently in High School.
Academic expectations increase in the Middle School program, as
does the amount of homework. Students are assigned 60-90 minutes
of homework a day. Students also use computers and printers at
school and at home to complete assignments. High achieving
students are recognized on the Honour Roll and Honour Roll with
Distinction
Math, Language Arts, Science, Social Studies, French or Spanish
and Bible form the core academic program. Physical Education and
Health are required subjects. At Heritage, Middle
School options include Band, Choir, Outdoor Education,
Computers, Drama and Art.
Service in Christ's name is a regular component of the
curriculum in the Middle School program. All students
participate in
Urban Servants.
Students travel to various community service
locations such as Samaritan's Purse, Mustard Seed and the
Calgary Drop Inn Centre where we encourage them to develop a servant's
heart.
Our after-school competitive sport teams
start in Middle School. Interested students generally qualify
but students should be prepared for competitive try-outs. The
gym is available for Intramurals only at lunch. Students
are encouraged to meet with teachers for extra help.
