Scholastics, Arts and Global Education (Grades 6-8)
SAGE Quest is specialized learning experience that is composed of a student-driven class of Gr 6, 7, & 8 students from across the system. The goal of SAGE Quest is to foster a culture of inquiry amidst a community of care, with a particular focus on critical thinking and the global issues facing our world today. Students explore how to impact: their school; local, national; and global communities. Students are motivated and committed to learning about social justice in the world around them; collaborating with peers; building safe and inclusive communities; achieving their academic potential; and being kind and active community members to everyone in their school community.
