Branksome Hall Curriculum

Branksome Hall strives to develop and implement an exemplary curriculum informed by best practices in teaching and learning.

In the Junior School, the IB Primary Years Program provides the framework for our curriculum. In the Senior and Middle School, the IB Middle Years Program (for Grades 7–10) and the IB Diploma Program (for Grades 11–12) are aligned with the Ontario Curriculum. Graduates earn both an Ontario Secondary School Diploma and an IB Diploma.

Copies of the Branksome Hall Junior School, and the Senior and Middle School Academic Program are available on our portal. Curriculum Nights for parents are held in September. The Assistant Head, Senior & Middle School, Academics, Ms. Kate Hebdon, oversees the Academic Program. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact her.
