Building a Solid Foundation at WIC
Welcome to Junior High (Grades 7 - 9)
Our Junior High program is where students begin to explore who they are and who they want to become. With a strong foundation in core academics—math, science, English, and social studies—students also dive into a wide range of experiences that support their personal growth and curiosity.
From learning new languages and creating in the arts, to engaging in athletics and our signature Institute Program, Junior High at WIC is designed to spark confidence, independence and a sense of belonging. In Grade 9, international travel opportunities through our International Studies program expand learning far beyond the classroom.
Whether your child is just starting Grade 7 or transferring in later, this is where their WIC journey begins.
Why Choose Junior High at WIC?
Junior high (Grades 7 - 9) is an important starting point for our students to begin their journey of self-discovery and academic growth. Our classrooms encourage curiosity, resilience and collaboration, while preparing students to become confident problem-solvers and leaders. When they join our school community, students build lasting friendships, develop essential life skills and immerse themselves in WIC’s longstanding traditions and events.
Our junior high program also prepares students to transition seamlessly into senior high school, empowering them to discover their purpose, explore their passions and excel in a supportive learning environment.
WIC is truly a special place, where students can be uncertain about themselves and their future, and upon graduation, feel confident in who they are, the skills they have learned and their potential. Junior high is such a pivotal time, and I love that the WIC community provides a supportive environment where students can form lasting friendships, safely explore, learn from failure, and try again. For over two decades, I have had the pleasure of watching each WIC student’s unique academic and personal journey and it has been incredibly rewarding.
