Student Choice - CTF Option Courses

At Mitford School we offer believe in the opportunity for students to explore their interests and passion through CTF Option courses. We are excited that we have expanded the number of choices available for the 2020/21 school year.

Students choose one 'Make', one 'Create', and one 'Do' CTF Option courses as well as three additional courses of their choosing. Student preference is fulfilled whenever possible.

Career and Technology Foundations (CTF) provides students in grades 5 to 9 the opportunity to explore their interests within various occupational areas and technologies.

CTF is student-focused and supports interdisciplinary learning that fosters development of literacy and numeracy skills and competencies like communication, collaboration and problem solving. CTF can be adjusted for any student's learning needs.

Through CTF, students may plan, design, create, and implement solutions for relevant real-life problems. As students engage in hands-on challenges, they develop social, interpersonal, life, and work skills as well as practical knowledge about various industries, issues and technologies. CTF provides a foundation for students transitioning into Career and Technology Studies (CTS) in Grades 10 through 12.
