Our program goes beyond provincial expectations through an enriched and accelerated approach, challenging students to think critically and apply concepts to real-world situations. Across the grades, they explore advanced units including ratios and proportional reasoning, integers, algebraic expressions, geometry and probability, with integration of technology to deepen understanding.
Enhancing communication skills
Students engage with a wide range of texts, including novels, informational texts and media sources, while building critical thinking, analysis and communication skills. They participate in structured writing tasks, debates and presentations that encourage them to express ideas clearly and thoughtfully. Opportunities such as Speech Night and class presentations further build confidence in public speaking and communication.
Through engaging discussions, higher-order thinking tasks and real-world applications, learners develop a deep understanding of language and its impact.
Learning through experimentation
Students develop strong foundations in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Earth and Space and Environmental Science. Across the grades, they explore engaging units including cells and systems, matter and chemical reactions, forces and energy, ecosystems and space exploration.
Learners actively engage in experiments, investigations and collaborative projects. The program is enriched through STEAM-based initiatives, science-focused projects and our annual STEAM Fair, where students showcase their learning.
Field trips and hands-on workshops further extend learning beyond the classroom, allowing students to connect scientific concepts to real-world applications.
Understanding human connections
Learners begin with the Heritage and Identity unit then explore Canada’s Past and Present, examining historical communities, diversity, and the evolution of Canadian society. The program continues with Canada’s Connections to the Global Community, investigating human rights, world health, trade and economic systems, disaster relief, environmental issues and Canada’s role in addressing global challenges.
Students engage in real-world learning through discussions, case studies and interactive tasks that deepen their understanding of global citizenship. Our program inspires them to think critically, act responsibly and develop a strong understanding of their role as informed and engaged global citizens.
Discovering the world around us
In Geography students explore Physical Patterns in a Changing World, where they investigate Earth’s dynamic systems, natural processes, and the impact of environmental change. In Our World’s Natural Resources: Use and Sustainability, they examine how natural resources are used, managed and conserved, with a strong focus on sustainability and responsible global citizenship.
Our History program investigates key historical events, perspectives and developments that have shaped communities, Canada, and the wider world. Students analyze primary and secondary sources, make connections and explore cause-and-effect relationships in history. The program is further enriched through field trips, workshops and participation in Model United Nations (MUN), helping students build historical understanding, empathy and strong communication skills as global citizens.
Freeing the inner self

In Grades 6 to 8 they build increasingly advanced coding skills, beginning with foundational concepts such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, variables and debugging, and progressing to text-based programming and the creation of functions to solve more complex challenges.
Through dynamic, hands-on projects, students apply their learning in meaningful ways while also exploring digital design and technology literacy. By combining the Ontario curriculum with enriched opportunities in programming and digital learning, the program fosters creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and confidence, preparing students to become capable and future-ready innovators.
Learning a world language

The program is enriched through collaborative projects, presentations, role-playing and authentic communication tasks that encourage active participation and practical language use.
Students also take part in engaging school-wide experiences such as the French Carnival, where older students develop leadership skills by organizing activities for the broader school community.

These experiences help them become more self-directed learners who are not only building knowledge, but also learning how to reflect, adapt and take responsibility for their own development.
Joined here in grade 5 and graduated in grade 8.
Didn’t regret a single moment going there. Getting the marks helped me get into the AP program in Campion. Keep up the good work!
Alumnus
I attended RMS for almost 10 years as a student
I had one of the best educational experiences I could have ever asked for. In addition to having an amazing sense of community, Rowntree prepared me academically to succeed in high school and beyond.
My daughter is in her sixth year at one of RMS satellite campus.
She’s always had wonderful teachers and has always looked forward to going to school. If you are looking for an intimate, nurturing place to send your child, I would highly recommend RMS to any parent.
Parent
French is an important language to learn in Canada because it is one of Canada’s official languages.
It is spoken all over Quebec and other francophone communities. Learning French also opens up opportunities for employment in jobs such as in the federal government.
Grade 7 Student
I like learning French because French is Canada's national language
If I want to go around Canada I need to know French because in some places like Quebec they only speak French there. French will also help me in the future for a job because if you know French you can get more different jobs.
