An academic approach that works.
Preparing bright minds for liftoff.
Designed to accelerate academic progress and ease the transition to high school, Pre-Launch offers a specialized curriculum for Grade 7 and 8 students. To promote Blyth Academy's signature learning environment that's both engaging and enriching, Pre-Launch students are selected based on academic strength and past performance.
GRADE 7
A class for academically strong and mature students that follows a standard middle school curriculum and timetable. Students gain knowledge and a deep understanding in core subjects such as Science, Math, Language Arts and History while also being provided with experiential education such as community outreach, field trips, wellness programs, exposure to the arts, and opportunities for self-discovery.
Thanks to active exposure to the high school environment and teachers who provide academically rigorous coursework, our Grade 7 students will be well-prepared for the comprehensive Grade 8 program.
GRADE 8
An enhanced Grade 8 curriculum that is designed to help students smoothly transition to Grade 9 and develop a strong foundation for high school. With the added benefit of a boost in Arts, Physical Education, and our signature LaunchPad program, our Pre-Launch students experience a highly engaged and rigorous learning environment built on academic success, social growth, and overall well-being.
"Our daughter attended Blyth Academy for a Grade 8/9 class. We were anxious at the time that the split grade might be too challenging for her, but it turned out to be a very positive experience. The Blyth Academy staff were amazing and constantly went above and beyond to meet her needs. We could not have asked for a better quality, supportive educational environment. We’ve just registered her for Grade 11 at Blyth Academy and can’t wait to see what her future holds!"
