At Stamford, we are fortunate to be able to offer courses that lead to 3 post secondary destinations: college, university and the workplace.
Essential English in grade 9 leads to Workplace courses in senior English and is suitable for students who are planning to enter the world of work directly after high school.
Applied English in grade 9 leads to College courses in senior English and is suitable for students who are planning to enter a community college or an apprenticeship after high school.
Academic level English in grade 9 leads to University courses in senior English and is suitable for students who are planning to attend university after high school .
In order to help facilitate your course selection, we present a selection of student work below, along with a description of the assignment and an explanation of what features make it characteristic of the respective destination streams.

Welcome
Good Evening, and Welcome to Stamford's English Department.
We're excited about all the new grade nines who will be starting here next September. We like to think that we continue to offer the core elements of a traditional English programme and also manage to keep with the times too. Feel free to ask any questions whatsoever and please enjoy your evening.
One of the themes we traditionally address during the grade 8 open house is the issue of which course level is most appropriate for your student. Please feel free to use one of the Netbooks in order to view some of the information we have put together.

Online Augmentation in English
Several English teachers have been exploring the use of information technology in order to communicate more effectively with students and parents. We're confident that as time progressess, more and more information about courses and student performance will be available online.
Here is a sample of information that is already available from home for students and parents:
