Focus Friday

Focus Friday is an integral aspect of our Institutes. It is a specific block of time on most Fridays throughout the year, allocated to providing students from Grades 9 - 12 with opportunities to explore, discover, and pursue their interests. Focus Friday is mandatory for Grades 9 and 10. Through guest speakers, site visits, and other experiences, Senior School students are exposed to a multitude of enrichment opportunities each Friday morning. The intent of the Focus Friday program is to develop the whole child and to offer a more personalized approach for student learning.
