QMS Prep Program
The QMS Prep Program is a one-year program designed to prepare students in Grades 7 to 10 with full-time English Language instruction for entry into mainstream academic courses at Queen Margaret School the following year.
Prep Program students will have many opportunities to develop academic skills in reading, writing, speaking, listening, and subject-specific vocabulary while learning to adapt to Canadian culture and curricula before enrolling in the mainstream academic program.
No school credits are awarded during this skill-based learning year, but all students receive a certificate of completion. Students who achieve the required level of English may enrol at QMS the following academic year.
