Centennial Academy Teacher and Staff Stories
“
One of my happiest moments is to see the growth of a student who first walks into the door with poor self-confidence, failing grades and a history of being told that they can’t learn in school – transform into a high school graduate armed with the skills they need to carry them through CEGEP and university studies, and well into their professional careers. At Centennial Academy, all students can learn because learning is adapted to each student. It should be the model across the education system.”
Angela Burgos, Head of School
“
A typical classroom experience at Centennial is all about routine and predictability. A classroom starts with a routine and is followed by minimal teacher instruction, usually no more than 10 minutes. The bulk of our time in the classroom is spent doing an activity or assignment where the students can practice their newly acquired knowledge or demonstrate their understanding of it. Then at the end, we clean up our materials and prepare for the next class.”
Mary Byron, Department Head, English Language Arts
“
One of my favorite memories is the grade 11 New York trip. It was great to see how the students interact outside of the classroom. The students really enjoyed the Broadway shows that we saw and ended up doing karaoke on the bus. Students always seem hesitant at the beginning of the trip, but by the end of the trip they are grateful that they went on the trip.”
