ground in the ‰elds of science, technol-
oŠy and most recently, work experience.
The KŽ12 school—which takes day
students as well as boarders—was the
‰rst girls' school in Canada to o•er a
STEM (science, technoloŠy, engineering
and mathematics) curriculum.
And now, it is again trailblazing with
a new program that integrates real-
world work experience into career
classes starting in Grade 10.
By the time they ‰nish Grade 12,
students will have 100 hours of work
experience to add to their resumés and
university application packages.
"We believe it is important for our
students to have practical experience of
the workplace to complement what they
are learning in the classroom," says
Head of School Cathy Thornicroft.
Southridge School
Developing students with "strong minds
and good hearts" is the foundation of
Southridge School's philosophy.
Located in South Surrey, the co-ed
day school has a KŽ12 curriculum that
places as much value on goodness as it
does on knowledge.
"We are a small school, where our
students are known and cared for,"
says Head of School Drew Stephens. "Trust
among our students, and across our entire
school community, is evident by the fact
that we have no locks on our lockers. In
our classrooms, we embrace inquiry and
discussion-based learning."
The senior school stands out as the only
school in Canada with a fully implemented
Harkness philosophy, which is a discussion-
based collaborative approach to learning.
