GRADE 9 PROGRAM

A smooth transition from Grade 8 is the primary objective of Aden Bowman’s Grade 9 program. By offering students a welcoming learning community, Aden Bowman fosters a sense of belonging that connects students to their learning, which in turn allows students to be positive contributors to the school culture.

Grade 9 students obtain compulsory courses in their first year to meet core curriculum requirements. Students choose one 50-hour practical and applied arts elective and one 100-hour elective from a variety of options to balance their Grade 9 year.

Grade 9 students requiring support in their learning can access multiple resources, including: • Resource teachers • Math 9 Plus (Foundational Skill Building) • English as an Additional Language teachers.
