Queen's Collegiate is an independent school catering to the students from grade
6 to 12. Based on the Ontario Ministry of Education's curriculum each
subject is approached artistically and age appropriately, addressing the
students developing faculties through and integrated willing, feeling and
thinking. It is through this approach that a foundation is laid for
vital, happy, well-rounded students with enquiring minds, an enthusiasm for
learning, and readiness to approach the demanding years of intellectual
learning ahead in High School or University.
Our faculty members and staff work hard to provide you an outstanding
experience in your academic venture here at Queen's Collegiate. Whether
you plan to graduate from Queen's Collegiate or build your academic skills
through individual courses before heading to university, you will find that
your studies here will provide you with a solid base upon which to
build your education.
We pride ourselves in small classes with qualified professionals teaching
our academic classes. I know that you will find our faculty and staff
here to help you succeed with your educational goals.
Our staff is not only well educated, but also kind and caring. Our
lessons stress active, social, and creative learning. The lessons in
which our students engage are serious, and I hope there is a lot of a room
for fun in their learning as well. |

Education
should be enjoyable and emphasize student involvement. Here at
Queen's, we encourage students to recognize differing perspectives and
to develop their own viewpoints regarding unfamiliar theories and
ideas. Creating an environment where learning, knowledge and
understanding are fostered is imperative to ensuring a great academic
environment for all students whether they are beginning or advancing
their studies. In this environment, students are motivated to initiate
discussion in order to allow for academic creativity and freedom.
Student participation and interaction are essential ingredients for
the Queen's Collegiate teaching philosophy. We encourage all students to
cooperate with each other and to utilize their individual talents. Not
only are students challenged by their classmates, but they also learn
the importance of teamwork; these are lessons that will serve them
well once entering the post-secondary or workforce setting. More
importantly, they are able to inquire, analyze and comment on critical
debates. They engage in an activity that will complement and enhance
the normative textbook readings.
I find great joy in teaching and counselling students. My ultimate goal
is that students who graduate from Queen's Collegiate are more aware of
global cultures, able to construct their own ideas, and are excited
about learning. Also, I hope students leave my classes better informed
and more knowledgeable across the discourse, and are active
participants in their respective communities. |
