K4 students have been inquiring into the life cycle of the butterfly. They were very excited when a butterfly emerged from one of the classroom cocoons this week. Today students wished their butterfly friend good luck on its new life adventure. ๐ฆ๐

Mr. Saunders, the AP Coordinator, presented to next year`s grade 10 students. Grade 10 is the first year BFS students can participate in AP coursework. Advanced Placement (AP) classes offer high school students the opportunity to engage in college-level coursework, providing a challenging academic environment that fosters critical thinking and prepares them for the rigors of higher education.
AP courses cover a wide range of subjects, potentially allowing students to earn college credit or advanced placement in college. AP classes not only deepen students` understanding of the subject matter but also enhance their skills in time management, study habits, and academic discipline, making them invaluable experiences for those seeking academic excellence and readiness for college.
