Enriched Curriculum

An enriched environment

Our enriched curriculum includes a variety of activities designed to enlighten as well as intrigue the young minds and bodies of our students. At Wheatley, we realize the importance in creating a rich, diverse learning environment in which children have the opportunity to explore a broad range of interests.

Wheatley’s elementary students participate in activities outside of the school including inter-school athletic competitions, track and field, and gymnastics.

Scheduled throughout the school year are field trips to the theatre, art galleries and museums which support the curriculum and enrich learning. Upper Elementary trips go a step further, with overnight stays.

Our elementary students have an opportunity to play in House League during the lunch hour. For upper elementary students seeking a higher level of competition, a variety of inter school teams are organized after school hours. Wheatley has received the Quality Daily Physical Education Recognition Award from the Canadian Association of Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance.

Clubs are available for interested students. Past clubs have included chess, robotics, and computers. Wheatley also offers student council representation.

Beginning in Grade 5, students are divided into houses. Each House is made up of students from Grades 5 to 8. Houses create school pride and spirit, a sense of community and a bond among students. Beginning in Grade 3, students may become members of the choir.

Private piano and voice lessons during school hours are also available to interested students. These may resume post pandemic.

My children attended Wheatley for eleven years where they received outstanding academics and wonderful social skills.
