English Program

 


Brock Corydon School is a great place to learn.  The staff at Brock Corydon is a dedicated, enthusiastic group of professionals who are committed to fostering a love and excitement of learning.  A well-rounded education is offered in a supportive, academically challenging and inter-cultural environment.

The outcomes and standards of Manitoba Education and Training curricula are the bases of all subjects in Kindergarten to Grade 6.  Literature, mathematics, science, social studies, active fit lifestyles, art and the aesthetics are integrated throughout all curricula.  Learning is child centered and based on a developmental continuum, which grows in sophistication and complexity from Kindergarten through Grade 6.

 We assess for growth to measure what a child knows and to determine specific learning goals for individuals and groups.  Assessment is based on a combination of teacher observation, student work, projects, teacher made and standardized tests, and student self-evaluation.

 Learning at Brock Corydon is also firmly grounded in knowledge of self and others.  School-wide pro social skills and community service learning are embedded through our Lion’s Quest Program.  Each month school-wide themes and activities are chosen and developed to nurture and foster acceptance and understanding of self and others.

Intercultural learning is integral to our bilingual setting.  Throughout the year there are numerous opportunities for classes from both tracks to study units together, embark on joint projects or explore each other’s customs and holidays.

Choir, intramurals and numerous school clubs are offered.  All provide meaningful opportunities to learn and play together.
