Science et technologie

From the start of their elementary school experience, our kindergarten and cycle 1 students are exposed to scientific inquiry through hands on learning. Cycle 2 and 3 students have the opportunity to explore science and technology in French. It is based on 3 scientific concepts: Living Things, Earth and Space and the Material World.

Science classes equip students with the knowledge they need, in order to inquire about the world that surrounds them. Technology is incorporated throughout our curriculum.

Our Science & Technology teacher offers a Robotics Program. Two sessions run weekly after school, where children from grades 4, 5 & 6 work in teams with the Lego NXT kits. This year two teams will participate in the RoboCup Junior Competition at the end of the second session.
