King’s Edgehill School: Windsor, Nova Scotia, Canada

Thinking about best boarding schools in America? This is one of top co-educational boarding schools for boys and girls in Canada. King’s Edgehill School in Windsor, Nova Scotia is a great school to consider. In the Senior School (Grades 10-12) students can opt for Honours’ Courses by subject domains, a system known as 'setting’ rather than 'streaming’. That a student has not been in the Honours’ Class in the Junior School does not prevent him or her from attempting the enriched classes later. Determination of Honours’ classes rests very much upon student performance and teacher recommendation. Mobility, of course, is the essential factor so that if placement is proven to be misjudged, then the student can be moved to an appropriate class without loss of progress.
With the demands of the International Baccalaureate Programme, with which Honours’ Courses are associated in the Senior School, students are advised to enter their advanced study groups (Honours’ courses) in Grade 10. This will allow students the optimum amount of IB preparation time and the opportunity to participate in the co-curricular programme, so important in engendering an all-round record of achievement in the competition for university placement.
