Bond Academy offers an enriched academic curriculum set by the Ontario Ministry of Education. Caring and dedicated staff, small classes and commitment to our philosophy develop and refine the students’ skills as a learner. 

Early Start Literacy/ Numeracy Program 

The Early Start Literacy program builds from the materials taught in the kindergarten program. Students further develop their reading, writing and speaking skills. Teachers track each student’s literacy skills providing specific strategies needed to monitor and stimulate their development. 

Our Numeracy program focuses on developing problem solving skills, and applying these skills through enrichment activities in all grade levels. Success in Mathematics is often a foundation for success in other subjects. 

Arts Programs 

The Arts Program is divided into four main areas of study: Dance, Drama, Music and Visual Arts. Teachers specializing in these areas provide a solid program, introducing students to basic principles and concepts.

Throughout their elementary experience, students nurture a fondness for the Arts. 

Dance & Drama Program 

Every aspect of the performing arts is covered within the Dance & Drama Program. Students demonstrate their understanding of the basic elements, interpret the meaning of literary materials, and create dance and drama pieces. They also learn to make comparisons between their own and professional works. Production and technology aspects are introduced to students in later grades. 

Music Program 

The Music program teaches students the elements of musical creativity and composition as early as Grade 1, continuing to Grade 8. Strong emphasis is placed on using and understanding basic terminology; reading, writing and performing various sounds. Students also learn to analyze and express their responses to music, while drawing from cultural, historical and social references. Students in Grades 4 to 8 develop their singing and playing (instrumental) abilities. 

Visual Arts Programs 

Bond Academy’s Visual Arts program develops creativity and the ability to communicate through visual images. Students learn to use the elements and principles of design through a variety of media such as painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, arts and crafts, printmaking and architecture. Students apply their understanding of the elements and principles of design by verbally analyzing artworks from different periods, movements and their own work. 

Daily Physical & Health Education 

The development of a healthy body and lifestyle is critical to our students’ personal and academic successes. Students develop the necessary skills and confidence to pursue a healthy lifestyle. Our approach is multifaceted; our Physical and Health Education program, access to our Aquatics program, Intramural Sports, Extracurricular Activities and, membership in the SSFA (Small School Athletic Federation), compete in various sports. 

Intramural Program 

Students have access to intramural programs during our lunch hour. Our intramural programs are available to students from Grade 1 to Grade 8 and are designed to encourage participation and practical application of the skills taught in our physical education classes. 

Aquatics Program 

A component of our Physical and Health Education program includes weekly swimming lessons. Highly skilled and qualified instructors teach our swim classes, focusing on the individual skill development of our students. 

Before & After School Programs 

The Before and After School programs provide a safe, secure and stimulating transition between the home and Bond Academy. The Before School program runs from 7:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Parents drop-off their children knowing they are safe and supervised by qualified staff. Following dismissal from class, the students are escorted to the After School program. The After School program closes at 6:00 p.m. and provides a variety of supervised activities including educational games, gym time and quiet area for the completion of homework. As an important component of our safety and security plan, all Montessori Casa and Elementary students are enrolled at no additional cost. 

Homework Club 

Our mandatory homework club runs from 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. under the supervision of qualified teaching staff. This allows students and their families the opportunity to pursue interests outside of school without affecting the completion of their assignments. Access to the library and computers are available to the students at this time.
