French Immersion and Extended
Teachers, support staff and administrators have developed an outstanding and challenging curriculum that enables students to reach their potential. Approximately, 50 percent of Richview students are part of our rich and varied French Immersion and French Extended programs. Our programming is unique, in that we run a dual-track school, focusing on both French and English instruction. At the same time, students from both tracks are fully integrated: they participate together in all of the school's leadership, sporting and club activities.
Extra-Curricular Activities
To compliment a strong academic experience, students are encouraged to enrich their learning by participating in the full extra curricular activities available at the school. The numerous & diverse teams and clubs ensure that the interest & enthusiasm of each student is encouraged & fostered. We currently have over 80 clubs & teams in which students can participate.
Leadership Initiatives
RCI also celebrates a vibrant leadership program with leadership camps at Muskoka Woods and many curriculum- related conferences and competitions. In grade 11, students can take our leadership course, which further strengthens and supports school-wide initiatives. The Principal's Advisory Group alone provides senior student mentoring to all grade 9 students.
