Our School
Welcome to William A. Fraser Middle School!
We are a busy, active middle school with approximately 700 students enrolled in grades 6, 7 and 8. There are ample opportunities provided for each child's middle school experience, including excellent teaching staff, amazing Explorations, music and athletic programs, and many fun extra-curricular activities. We look forward to working with all students, helping them to achieve their absolute best while at William A. Fraser Middle School.
Instruction
Teachers team in groups of 2 or 3 to provide an interdisciplinary approach to classroom instruction. Classes loop in grade 6 & 7 to create a strong, caring relationship between teacher and student. The Fraser Learning Commons boasts a collection of over 13,000 books and students regularly visit the library for pleasure and for research. Learning Support Services are available for students in every grade and include ESL, Gifted, and Aboriginal education.
Explorations
Students in the middle grades must be given opportunities to try new things, learn new skills, and enjoy a hands-on approach to learning. All students participate in the Explorations program, including Tech Ed, Home Economics (Sewing and Cooking), and Music.
