GRADES 6–9 · IB WORLD SCHOOL · RICHMOND, BC
Built for the Middle Years
Windsor Hall is an IB World School where teachers know their students and make time for them. Here, students learn to ask questions, explain their thinking, and take greater responsibility for their learning.
Learning together at Windsor Hall
The Windsor Hall Difference
The middle years are a time to build good learning habits, try new things, and become more independent. At Windsor Hall, the IB Middle Years Programme encourages students to investigate ideas and connect their learning with the world around them. Personal support and projects of their own help them develop the skills to do this well.
02 · Academic foundations
Where Strong Foundations Grow
Through the IB Middle Years Programme, students investigate questions, consider different perspectives, and explain their ideas. They learn to make connections across subjects and apply what they know.
Alongside classroom learning, the Ramping Up Plan provides focused support in reading comprehension and mathematical thinking, helping students strengthen the skills they use every day.
03 · Wonder Time
Where Curiosity Becomes Action
Wonder Time gives students a chance to put their ideas into practice. Over a year, they develop a project based on an interest of their own—from a cookbook or community initiative to an online business.
Students make a plan, work through problems, adapt their ideas, and share what they have created. They experience what it takes to carry an idea through to a finished project.
04 · IGNITE
Where Interests Open New Possibilities
By Grade 9, students are beginning to notice which subjects and activities interest them most. IGNITE gives them opportunities to explore different academic fields with university mentors, ask questions, and hear about possible directions for further study.
These conversations help students connect what they enjoy now with subjects they may want to pursue in high school.

They are prepared to manage more challenging work, express their ideas, ask for support, and take greater responsibility as they move into Grade 10 and beyond.
BEYOND GRADE 9
New Possibilities on a Familiar Campus
Beginning in Grade 9, students are introduced to academic and career pathways, helping them explore university majors, discover personal interests, and begin shaping their own roadmap for the future.
Through our close connection with Canada Star Secondary School, located on the same campus, students gain an early introduction to senior school life. For families looking ahead, Canada Star offers the option to continue into Grades 10–12 in a familiar learning environment.
At Canada Star Secondary School, small classes, optional AP courses, and personalized academic planning help students build on their strengths and pursue new challenges. With ongoing university guidance, they choose courses that support their goals, develop meaningful experiences, and prepare for university applications.
