Grade 10 Retreat- Learning about Gr. 11 - 12

This week the Class of 2021, Grade 10, spent three days in a Diploma Programme Retreat learning about AISL's offerings for Grades 11 and 12. Each morning students started with information sessions, exploring DP subject guides, the AISL DP Handbook, and learning about the three diploma options at AISL. Students visited every single class that AISL offers, dropping in for 20 minute observation blocks. Mrs. Baldry lead students through a career interest survey and exploration of Bridge-U, a college preparation platform. A highlight was testing their knowledge of the Diploma Programme options in a fast-paced game of Jeopardy. Another engaging aspect of the Retreat was the opportunity to learn from current Grade 11 and 12 students. Current DP students shared stress relief tips, time-management skills, and advice for making a successful transition from Grade 10 to Grade 11. Unfortunately, mid-morning rain kept the students from their celebratory pool party! Ask your Grade 10 child about their take-aways from this important retreat.
