Northlea Elementary and Middle School  (Gr JK - 08)

Music is a very important part of the education that students receive at Northlea.  From Junior Kindergarten to Grade 8, all students receive music instruction by teachers who are talented and passionate specialists in this field. 

 

Vocal music is taught up to and including Grade 6, when instrumental band music begins and continues until graduation.   Over the years, the Northlea Choir has earned numerous recognitions and awards on both a Provincial and National level, and has been described by nationally selected adjudicators as a "one-of-a-kind program".  

The integration of technology into teaching and learning is a school focus.  The goal is to improve student achievement by engaging learners, differentiating instruction, and providing innovative teaching practices.  We have a Computer Lab with desktop computers, and a Language Lab which provides assistive technology for students with special learning needs.  Some features include: speech feedback, talking dictionaries, word prediction and audio file creation.

Northlea is moving to a wireless computing model.  Our Netbooks, Laptops and Smartboards are mobile, allowing students to use web-based applications in their classrooms.
