                                                                          Combining the key aspects of Nova Scotia Department of Education Learning Outcomes for Junior High Curriculum, students in grades seven to nine benefit from a dynamic and enhanced academic curriculum while exploring a wide range of academic units through various methods including project-based learning. 

                                                                          All junior high students have access to the latest technology which is integrated into the established Nova Scotia curriculum. This year, Newbridge Acadmy has partnered with Apple to supply each junior high student with an iPad2.

                                                                          Lessons are differentiated to reach the specific goals, interests and learning styles of each student. The junior high leadership program also helps students build skills in personal responsibility, mutual respect, and self-esteem. The use of project learning provides motivation for students to extend their learning beyond traditional levels of the classroom, encouraging cooperative leadership skills and constructive, independent learning. Students gain real-life connections that tie together school, home, community, and the world, teaching them to become global and critical thinkers and to find value and enjoyment in life-long learning.

                                                                          The Junior High program also empowers students, and all those involved with Newbridge Academy to practice healthy, active lifestyles.

                                                                          The Junior High Program key components:
