The Religious Knowledge program in Middle School offers an introduction to the religions of the world. Students study these faith traditions to gain an understanding of both the specific religions themselves and the dynamics of religion in general.

Students are encouraged to cultivate an appreciation for their own religious heritage, as well as for the religious diversity represented in the Canadian mosaic today.

In the first year of a two-year cycle, we study Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam. In the second year we study Hinduism, the life of Jesus, First Nations Spirituality and Judaism.

Teaching methods include lectures, discussion, on-line research and guest speakers. In addition, there is a field trip to one of the following places of worship: an Islamic mosque, a Hindu temple, a Buddhist temple, a Christian church or a Jewish synagogue.
