High School Programs

Archer Preparatory College

Since 1997, Archer Preparatory College

has provided education at the junior

and secondary level (grades 7-12) to

local and international students in a

relaxed, friendly and supportive

atmosphere.

Mission

Archer Preparatory College is a place where the individual

student is a highly valued part of the school community and is

encouraged to share his/her talents and ideas to enhance the

spirit of diversified learning. Teacher mentors guide students

along individualized learning paths which highlight academic

and social strengths and encourage the development of the

mind, body and spirit. Graduates of Archer Preparatory College

continue on their life journey with a deep awareness of the self

and the confidence to continue towards future successes.

Philosophy of Education

Our philosophy of education is founded on the concept of Balanced Learning,and incorporates education through lived experience, technology, individualization, and communication.

Individualization is the key to success. Students are encouraged to followunique learning paths by combining different methods of learning to satisfytheir individual curiosities and to become involved in their education.

Teaching through lived experience challenges students to discover learningthrough meaningful tasks. This is achieved through a project-oriented curriculum, educational field trips, a range of co-curricular activities, and a co-operative program.

Technology has become an integral part of daily life and our classrooms areno exception. Our curriculum is enriched by the use of film, music, art, computer programs, and internet technology.

Communication is the foundation to building a secure, respectful and inclusivecommunity of learners. Administration, teachers, students and parents areconstantly involved in a strong network of communication to ensure that theneeds of all of its members are being met accordingly.

17

Our Programs

� Day School Program

Students from grades 7-12 are

scheduled into courses based

on the Individualized Learning

Path created at the beginning

of each school year. Students

have the opportunity to take

courses in the Arts, Sciences, Maths, Technology, Business

Studies, Foreign Languages, Health and Physical Education,

Social Sciences, Humanities, English, Canadian and World

Studies and Guidance and Career Education. Small class sizes

ensure that all students are awarded the individual attention

they require to achieve mastery of the Ontario curriculum.

� Continuing Education Program

Students from other high

schools, as well as our own

have the opportunity to earn

credits outside of the regular

school day. Students have the

opportunity to learn in a

classroom setting or follow a self-directed study option. Courses

are taught throughout the regular school year in the evenings or

during summer semester in the daytime. In addition, students

can arrange to have private tutoring.

� Self-Directed Study Program

Self-directed study is available to our current students, home

schooled students, and students from other schools who are

interested in participating in online or correspondence courses.

Both the correspondence and online courses have been a

successful choice for students wishing to supplement their regular

learning with additional courses. Additionally, the self-directed

study allows for students to diversify their daily schedule by taking

one or two credits in this manner, rather than in a traditional

classroom setting. Students have access to the computer lab,

resource center and quiet study areas to work on their

self-directed study courses during allotted hours in their daily

schedule. Teacher mentors will be assigned to every student

who is attempting a self-directed study course for guidance,

support and evaluation of completed assignments.

� Technology Program

Technology is an important part of our curriculum, and therefore

we offer students the opportunity to purchase their own laptops

for educational use. This is the beginning phase of a project that

will soon have all students and teachers using computer

technology to communicate, conduct research, produce

assignments, write exams, and discover the endless possibilities

that start with their personal laptops. The laptops will have access

to Archer’s wireless network and internet services. An information

package will be provided to each student at registration.

� International Student Program

Since 1997, Archer Preparatory College has educated international

students from all over the world. Our administrators and educators

are experienced in welcoming students from many cultural back-

grounds, and rise to the challenge of making the adjustment to

Canadian life a smooth transition for our students. Our guidance

department will assist students in choosing the best possible

course of study to achieve their goals of studying at North

American postsecondary institutions. We offer ESL credit courses

and can arrange for one-to-one tutoring services for students who

need more assistance in their second language studies.

� Extra-Curricular Program

We encourage students to pursue extra-curricular activities to

enrich their learning experience. Students have the opportunity

to participate in the Media Club, Art Club, Drama Club, Fitness

Club, Chess Club, Student Council, and Social Action

Committee. We support students who show an interest in forming

new student associations based on their diverse interests.

High School Program

Our SchoolFacilities

Our newly-renovated facilities are wheelchair accessible and include

well-lit, air-conditioned classrooms, quiet study areas, media lab, art lab,

science lab, resource center, full-service cafeteria, and fitness centre.

difficulties that may arise during their studies. All of the teaching

transition to their postsecondary studies. Our graduates demonstrate:

school and its surrounding community by taking leadership roles in

the Student Council, the Social Action Committee, and Peer Tutoring.

Critical thinking

The guidance department will provide each student with assistance

in choosing the best possible post-secondary studies and will also

lead the student in career counseling.

Initiative

Students can elect to take a co-operative education credit, whereby

they are able to work with a mentor and learn firsthand the skills

required to succeed in their chosen field of work.

Knowledge

Students can begin working toward Advanced Placement credits

early in their academic career to ensure acceptance and credit trans-

fers to some of the top Canadian and international universities.

Mastery

By becoming actively involved in the creation of their Individualized

Learning Paths, students are highly motivated to achieve the goals

which they set for themselves. A high level of intrinsic motivation

stimulates the student to put more effort into their studies, resulting

in a more rewarding learning experience.

Canadian culture and improve your English while living with

Canadians. Your Canadian homestay family would like to welcome

you to their home.

Exchange cultural ideas, talk about different experiences, and practice

your English at home; these are some of the advantages of doing

homestay. You’ll also join family activities - it’s a great way to do what

Canadians enjoy doing! Archer families are carefully selected and are

friendly, safe and willing to help you with your goals in Canada.

You will have a private room in your home and three meals per day.

Your home will be quite close to the school and your host family will

explain how to get around the city easily. The homestay counselor is

Hamilton

� TorontoVancouver, in the western

province of British

Columbia, is a thriving city

located between mountains

and the ocean – an ideal

spot for summer and winter

sports activities. In fact, it

will be hosting the 2010

Winter Olympics. Vancouver enjoys a moderate climate year round

which allows for lush, green trees and bright, flowering gardens

– a truly beautiful city. In addition, the University of British Columbia

and Simon Fraser University offer students an excellent opportunity for

post-secondary study in a first-class university in a first-class city.

Another beautiful city in

the province of Ontario is

Hamilton. While quite

close to Toronto (about 1

operates at a much slower

pace. Hamilton has many

attractions: the beautiful

Botanical Gardens, as well as cultural events and excellent winter and

summer sport activities. It boasts the world famous McMaster

University, well-known for its excellent medical school and innovative

science programs. Brock University, situated in nearby St. Catharines,

is also well recognized as a prestigious post-secondary institution

offering a wide variety of multi-disciplinary programs.

Toronto is without question

one of the most exciting

and culturally diverse cities

in the world. Almost every

nationality and culture is

represented, respected and

welcomed in Toronto. As

well as celebrations of

multicultural events, galleries, theatre and fine restaurants, Toronto

offers superb educational opportunities through the world

renowned University of Toronto, York and Ryerson Universities, the

Ontario College of Art and Design plus numerous colleges both

private and public, offering a wide variety of courses.
