Junior High School · Grades 7–10

Growing in independence.
Still known by name.

The teenage years bring new questions, responsibilities, and possibilities. At Leaders, students are encouraged to think independently, discover their strengths, and take greater ownership of their learning, while remaining part of a close-knit Christian school community where teachers know them personally.

Learning in practice

Learning to think, not just remember.

Teachers describe their approach as Finnish-inspired, with discovery, experience, and the learner at its centre. Students explore questions, discuss ideas, and apply what they learn to real situations.

Look closely.

Examining historical sources and discussing different perspectives help students consider how ideas and interpretations take shape.

Work it through.

Research, group projects, and science activities give students opportunities to investigate questions and apply their knowledge.

Give ideas a voice.

Debates and presentations ask students to explain their thinking, listen to others, and communicate what they have learned.

Small classes and guidance

More responsibility. Guidance along the way.

In a small class, teachers have room to understand a student’s strengths, notice difficulties, and guide them toward greater independence. Regular records help students and families see progress and take responsibility for the next step.

A picture of progress

Annual Personal Learning Plans (PLPs) track academic progress and behaviour, providing continuity as students move to the next grade.

Regular conversations

Quarterly Personal Record Forms keep academic progress visible. Parents take part by reviewing and signing academic records where appropriate.

Learning accountability

Accountability Forms for late submissions help students recognise their responsibilities, with guidance as they develop more independent learning habits.

Christian formation

Faith that shapes everyday choices.

Bible classes and biblical integration across subjects encourage students to consider what they learn through a biblical worldview and apply God’s Word to real situations.

Morning devotion, weekly chapel, and Leaders Connect small-group mentoring make space for prayer, reflection, and relationships. Students also have opportunities to participate in chapel, including through the band.

Through character formation, service, and everyday interactions, students are encouraged to practise integrity, humility, compassion, and responsibility, allowing Christian faith to guide their choices.

Student life

Room to discover who they are becoming.

Beyond core subjects, students have opportunities to explore interests, build friendships, serve others, and practise leadership. Activities and availability vary by grade and school year.

Create and participate

Opportunities include guitar, piano, voice, journalism and writing, sports, and theater arts.

Lead and serve

The Leaders Student Council, outreach, and school activities give students ways to contribute to their community and work alongside others.
