Today we kicked off our Braemar House School Chess Club , and what a fantastic first day it was! Our club will run once a week , proudly led by two of our talented Grade 8 students , who are sharing their skills, strategy, and passion for the game with their peers. Students jumped right in—thinking ahead, making smart moves, and having fun while sharpening their problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. We can’t wait to see how their chess mastery grows each week! ♟️✨

Each fall, Braemar students complete the Canadian Achievement Test (CAT-4), providing valuable insight into individual and class learning strengths. The CAT-4 compares student performance to both the Ontario curriculum expectations and a national sample of over two million Canadian students. This year’s results show excellent achievement across the school: 📘 Reading & Language Skills  • 92%  of Grade 3–8 students are Competent/Proficient in Reading • 91%  in Vocabulary • 88%
