10 The Senior School provides an enriched and accelerated curriculum that meets or exceeds the British Columbia Ministry of Education graduation requirements. The curriculum is developmental in all subject areas, with a focus on enrichment and authentic learning. While much of the Grade 8 and 9 program is compulsory, students learn to make choices regarding their interests, particularly in fine arts and applied skills. When students enter the graduation program (Grade 10-12), they benefit from a wide range of options and in several curricular areas they have opportunity to take Advanced Placement courses. Crofton House has an exemplary track record of sending girls to pursue post- secondary study at some of the best universities in Canada and across the world. In the past three years, graduates have taken up places at the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto, Brown, Cornell, Berkeley, Princeton, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, the University of Pennsylvania, Tufts, King’s College London, Cambridge, St Andrews, Durham, Edinburgh and many other leading institutions. CREATIVE ARTS & TECHNOLOGY Creative arts and technology are an integral part of life at Crofton House. We offer an exciting variety of opportunities for students to express themselves and interpret the world around them. From our enriched music, drama and arts opportunities to our innovative design technology classes, each girl is able to find the medium that allows her to share her creative energy. Through these experiences, girls develop confidence, flexibility, critical thinking and collaboration skills.
