Ages 13-18 Grades 8-12

All Fraser Academy high school students follow the designated BC curriculum for each grade, which leads to the province’s “Dogwood” diploma. The core curriculum covers English, mathematics, science, social studies and PE as well as an impressive selection of electives that include music, art, drama, sports, home ec, tech ed and information technology.

Classes have seven students on average. Students meet daily and work one-to-one with an Orton-Gillingham-trained tutor for the entire year, with a curriculum designed to remediate the specific language needs of the student. This may encompass such areas as decoding, reading fluency, reading comprehension, written output, organization skills and self-advocacy. The Orton-Gillingham approach is perhaps the most effective––and definitely the most proven––method for teaching students with dyslexia or other language-based learning disabilities to read and write.
