Grade Expectations

One of the best ways to help children succeed in school is to understand what they’re learning, how they’re developing, and what the education system expects of them – year by year, grade by grade. Recognizing the critical role of parent involvement in children’s learning, the Ministry of Education has developed resources that provide this information – as well as a series of parent guides that you can use at home.
