Grade 9 is about getting the ball rolling for Senior School. This is an important foundational year where you will set yourself up for success in later grades.

In addition to taking core courses to build up your knowledge, you will delve deeply into finding out who you are as a learner and asking yourself important questions to better inform your future choices.
