A Growing Town Means Growing Class Sizes

Milton is one of the fastest-growing communities in Ontario. In classes of 30 or more, a Grade 11 student slipping in Advanced Functions or Chemistry can go unnoticed until the report card.

Grade 9–10A student is struggling with the jump to high school workload and needs closer attention early.

Grade 11–12A student needs a stronger mark in MHF4U, MCV4U, SCH4U or ENG4U to meet a program cut-off.
