Caledonia Junior High School, Public school in Dartmouth, Canada.
Caledonia Junior High School is a public junior high in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, operated by the Halifax Regional Centre for Education. It opened in 1963 and serves grades 7 to 9. Students come from Ian Forsyth, Michael Wallace and Admiral Westphal elementary schools.
This institution was founded in 1963 and has evolved alongside changing teaching methods and educational approaches. Over more than 60 years it has been central to educating generations in the local community.
Caledonia Junior High runs the grade 7 late entry French immersion program, so pupils begin intensive French in their first year at the school rather than in primary grades. After grade 9, those who continue Late French Immersion move on to Dartmouth High School, while other students go to Prince Andrew High School.
The campus is accessible by vehicle and offers parking near the facilities for those visiting during public events or school activities. Walking around the grounds provides a view of the athletic facilities and modern structures on the property.
The school's name comes from Caledonia, the Latin name for Scotland, a nod to the Scottish settlers of Dartmouth. It is one of several HRCE schools feeding into Prince Andrew High School, and its grade 7 late entry French immersion is the only entry point of its kind in its feeder group.
