Curriculum

The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9–12: Health and Physical Education (2015)

This course enables students to further develop the knowledge and skills they need to make healthy choices now and lead healthy, active lives in the future. Through participation in a wide range of physical activities, students develop knowledge and skills related to movement competence and personal fitness that provide a foundation for active living.

Our approach to assessment and evaluation is grounded in the principles outlined in the Ontario Ministry of Education’s Growing Success document.

Key Principles

  • Fairness, Transparency, Equity: Clear success criteria; varied demonstrations of learning (performance, design, written/visual artifacts).
  • Support for All Students: Inclusive rehearsal and performance practices for students with special education needs, English language learners, and Indigenous learners.
  • Curriculum Alignment: All assessments anchor to A–C Drama strands and roles across theatre (performer, designer/technician, director, dramaturg).
  • Clear Communication: Criteria shared up front and revisited at scene pitches, design checkpoints, and rehearsal notes.
  • Ongoing & Varied: Observation, conversation, and product (e.g., in-role work, scene runs, design/tech labs, cue sheets, notes).
  • Descriptive Feedback: Timely, specific, strengths/next steps tied to the creative/critical analysis processes.
  • Student Self-Assessment: Rehearsal journals, director’s notes, design reflections, peer feedback logs, and post-show talkbacks.
At Royal Ontario Academy, we believe that all OSSD students can benefit from a more accommodating online learning experience Accommodations allow for increased access to the course, without any changes to the knowledge and skills the student is expected to demonstrate.

An Individual Education Plan (IEP)is a personalized document that outlines a student’s learning needs, as well as the accommodations or services they require to succeed in their courses. At Royal Ontario Academy, our flexible online learning environment already addresses many common accommodation needs, but if a student requires additional support, our Principal is ready to help you!

– Students with Existing IEP: If a student has an existing IEP from another elementary or secondary school, Royal Ontario Academy can implement the listed accommodations, provided they are applicable within our online learning environment. To do so, a copy of the student’s IEP must be submitted to our Principal for review.
– Students Without IEP: If a student requires accommodations but does not currently have an IEP, our Principal will work with the student to assess their learning needs and develop a path forward. In this case, students will need to submit supporting documentation to help determine the appropriate accommodations.
– English Language Learners:– English Language Learners: Students who enroll at Royal Ontario Academy can provide information about their English language proficiency during the registration process. This information helps our teachers and Principal to tailor their teaching strategies and implement accommodations that support English language learners effectively.

For students and parents wishing to submit IEP documentation or request accommodations, please contact our Principal at info@royalontarioacademy.com
