Go to child profileEstablished in 1953, Crawford is committed to the holistic development of our students through academic excellence, spiritual nurture, enhancement of social & physical abilities. With a strong emphasis in music, science and sports, we are a balanced, co-ed family of schools - campus locations in North York (Main JK-12), Pickering (East JK-8) & Brampton (Peel JK-8) - that successfully develops our students to be confident,for post-secondary education, their chosen career path and to remain committed to a lifestyle of service.
What learning looks like now: CAA - Main Campus is currently preparing the physical campus to support students in the fall of 2020. Recognizing that some families may not be comfortable with their child(ren) returning, there are 2 different re-entry options for our JK-8 Division and 3 options for our High School Division. JK-8 Division Option 1 - Remote Learning Remote learning is present to support families who are unable to attend on-site learning initiatives due to health and safety concerns in the immediate family. Students need to be self-driven, organized and accountable for their academic progress. Students will be doing their work on-line at home. The classroom teacher will have a camera in classroom and will provide a Zoom link for students to view live instruction. Option 2 - On Campus Learning Students will sit in their desks 6 feet apart. Classroom size will differ from classroom to classroom. As a result we anticipate the need for overflow classrooms. Cohorting as a class will be maintained as much as possible with French and Music being virtually brought into the classroom via Zoom. HS Division Option 1 - Remote Learning Option 2 - Hybrid Learning The Hybrid Model gives students the flexibility to interchangeably move from Remote Learning to On-Campus learning “as needed”, as synchronous instruction is streamed from the classroom. Students attend classes by logging in remotely and follow the same schedule as in-person students. Option 3 - On Campus Learning
