Kindergarten and Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten

Kindergarten is a two-year program that includes Junior (year 1) and Senior (year 2) Kindergarten.[11]

In September 2010, the Board began offering the full day kindergarten program in some schools as part of a province wide implementation plan. As of the 2014–2015 school year, all elementary schools offer Full Day Kindergarten (FDK). At these schools, JK and SK children attend all day every day, Monday to Friday.[12]

French as a Second Language (FSL)

The board offers two FSL programs – Core French and French Immersion.[13]

Core French is mandatory from Grades 4 to 8 for all students in English-language elementary schools. At the secondary level, students can take French as a subject from grade 9 to grade 12. It is mandatory that students take one French credit for the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.[citation needed]

French Immersion offers students the opportunity to acquire a high level of proficiency in French while maintaining and developing English language skills.[13] French Immersion is available in 19 elementary schools and four high schools.[14]

Secondary schools

Secondary schools are listed below:[15]

In January 2018, The Upper Grand District School Board announced new plans to build a secondary school northwest of the Victoria Road at Arkell Road intersection.[16] The project is a part of Ontario's Ministry of Education's plan to build 30 new schools across the province and renovate 40 others.[16] The new secondary school is expected to provide relief for the overpopulated Centennial C.V.I. high school. it is designed to accommodate 900 students and will cost the provincial government an estimated $25.5 million.[17]

Educational options

The Upper Grand DSB is committed to all students, K-12+, having equitable opportunities to explore and experience diverse pathway options. Through these opportunities, the board aims to support student optimism for a rich and vibrant future, regardless of which initial pathway they choose, and how their plans might shift and change throughout their lives.[18]

As part of Career/Life planning programming, Upper Grand DSB offers four immersive experiential programs[19] for students in grades 7-12+ that promote learning through exploration, investigation, and active participation. Choosing a program based on their skills and ambitions, students can explore and build skills related to a variety of careers both within and outside of the classroom with full assistance and support, easing the transition as they move on to post-secondary education, whether in an apprenticeship, college or university.
