Understanding the Canadian Curriculum

Introduction

The Canadian curriculum promotes not only academic mastery but also student well-being, creativity, and social responsibility.

The curriculum emphasizes a balanced development of core competencies alongside academic mastery in subjects like math, science, language arts, and social studies. Evaluations include a combination of coursework, projects, and assessments. Our tutors are trained to adapt to the nuanced expectations of each student's educational need while ensuring alignment with the school system

Our tutoring service mirrors this philosophy, built on respect for the Canadian system’s values of equity, inclusion, and lifelong learning. We support students with personalised, curriculum guidance from kindergarten through Grade 12.

Overview of the Canadian Curriculum

Canada’s education system is provincially governed, meaning there are slight differences between provinces like Ontario, British Columbia,

Alberta, and Quebec.

However, the core framework is consistent across the country:

  • Emphasis on critical thinking, inquiry-based learning, and skill development
  • Continuous assessment and feedback
  • Balanced focus on core academics and 21st-century skills (e.g. collaboration, communication, digital literacy)

Key subject areas include:

  • English/French Language Arts
  • Mathematics
  • Science & Technology
  • Social Studies/History/Geography
  • Health & Physical Education
  • The Arts
