Kuper Academy - Library Resources
Kuper Academy values reading, not only to sharpen the mind, but to inspire creativity and imagination. By providing our students with print materials and electronic resources in our libraries, we are helping to develop learning and evaluation skills to take them beyond Kuper’s classroom environments, inspiring them to think deeply and to dream big.
Both the Elementary Library and the High School Library are rich in resources, and our librarians work diligently to inspire Kuper students to become lifelong learners. Together with the teachers, the Kuper librarians strive to develop critical thinking and promote digital citizenship.
The Elementary School Library, serving K3 through grade 6, holds a diverse collection of over 7000 French and English holdings. These include fiction and non-fiction, graphic novels, audio books, classics and picture books. The Elementary Library also maintains a growing collection of materials from the publishing house of Barrington-Stokes to aid students experiencing reading challenges.
The High School Library collection offers students a wide selection of books and graphic novels for recreational reading in French, English, Spanish and Chinese, and numerous non-fiction works in French and English to support classroom assignments. High school students have access to desktop computers, a printer, a photocopier, presentation software, word processing software and subscription databases, which promote sound research practices and provide primary resources for projects and essays.
