English and French language arts focus on six important shills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and viewing. These are taught in an integrated way, not in isolation. A high standard of language usage is expected in all subject areas. Independent and creative work is encouraged; formal grammar and syntax are taught in both languages. Oral skills are emphasized in French in the lower grades, with more stress on writing as students acquire facility with the language. In addition to frequent writing in English, students are introduced to a wide variety of literature. The school nourishes a love of reading and an appreciation of the beauty of language.

Mathematics is taught in English and in French with close cooperation between the teachers. Often a difficult concept will be introduced in English and then reinforced in French. This encourages students to use their French in all areas of the curriculum. All students in Grades 7 and 8 write the Gauss Mathematics Contest, sponsored by the University of Waterloo, regularly with notable success.

Sciences are taught in accordance with Ontario Ministry of Education Guidelines. At all grade levels, the emphasis is on hands-on experience, including the growing of pants and care of animals.

Computers are used at all grade levels with software appropriate to language, grade level, and topic. Emphasis is on their use as a learning instrument with applications in many subject areas.

History and Geography, students learn to understand, appreciate, and respect the cultural diversity of Canada. In addition, they investigate many other lands. These subjects are taught in English and in French. In Grades 1 and 2, the topics are shared by the teachers, to enhance vocabulary development in French. In the higher grades, topics are complementary: for example, Japan is studied in French while China is studied in English.

Dramatic activities are frequent at all age levels and in both languages. Role-playing is used in many subject areas. Students are taken to the theatre, and Grades 7 and 8 study a Shakespeare play each year, with a visit to the Stratford Festival in October.

Physical Education and Health Program encourages students to enjoy physical activities and to be aware of their own responsibilities for their personal safety and health. Specific units are introduced and reinforced at appropriate grade levels to promote awareness of safety, good nutrition, and the hazards of smoking, drugs, and sexually transmitted diseases. Kindergarten children have large muscle development activities outside in the spring and fall, and inside on the winter term. Grade school children are prepared for the Canada Fitness Program each spring. Children are taught to skate in Grades 1 and 2, with follow-up in Grades 3, 4, and 5. Swimming is enjoyed in the middle grades. In the higher grades, students go regularly to the gymnasium for game skill development, and senior students are given the opportunity to play tennis.

Music is an integral part of the curriculum in the lower grades, with the children learning many songs, particularly in French. Percussion instruments are also used. Grade 5 students are taught to play the recorder. All students in Grades 3 to 8 are eligible to join one of the choirs which regularly enter the Kiwanis Music Festival. There is formal music appreciation in Grades 6, 7 and 8, and all students attend the school performances of the Kitchener - Waterloo Symphony Orchestra. An operetta is performed each spring for parents and friends of the school, with the cast chosen from volunteers in the higher grades.
