Grades 1-7 Summer School

Students enrolled in the CFL Grades 1-7 Summer School should have the ability to:

• Work successfully in multi-graded classes (eg. work independently, self start academic tasks)

• Capacity to cooperate with and take direction from new adults and individuals from the community

• Adjust quickly and be open to new learning opportunities

Considerations for Choosing the CFL Grades 1-7 Summer School Program

Before choosing to enroll their child in the  CFL Grades 1-7 Summer School Program, parents/guardians should consider the following:

• Students work in a multi-graded classroom.

• Students often collaborate with their grade-level peers, as well as with students in other grades.

• The learning facility is designed with multiple exits and open-concept classrooms, with limited alternative learning spaces for one-on-one activities.

• Multiple transitions happen within both the morning and afternoon programming requiring students to stay flexible and adjust independently.

• Classes may involve levels of noise and movement

• As it incorporates several cross-disciplinary projects, the CFL Grades 1-7 Summer School schedule is not exactly the same every day and is less well-suited to students who desire (or require) routine.
