At Vimy Ridge Academy, our focus is on student achievement. After each report period students are acknowledged for their academic achievement in categories of Honours and Honours with Distinction. Students achieving Honours have maintained an average of between 80% and 89% with no mark below 65%. Students achieving Honours with Distinction have maintained an average of 90% or better with no mark below 65%. At the junior high level the award average is based on a students four core subjects. At the senior high level, the award average is based on a students core course marks for their grade level.

We are thrilled with the number of students that are achieving at high levels of academic performance at Vimy Ridge Academy. At our June 2011 Awards night, 28.4% of our school population achieved Honours or Honours with Distinction standing. We recognize that the combination of highly motivating alternative programming options and a focus on improving student achievement has resulted in exceptional academic performance.

Our students turn their passion for individualized programming opportunities into high academic performance.

Congratulations to all our top achieving students. Keep up your enthusiasm for turning your passion into academic performance.
