Full Time

Our Academy program is a fully enriched inquiry-based advanced program where students receive a rigorous academic advantage with the Ontario Ministry Curriculum Expectations. Students learn to read competently, write, learn grammar with formal instruction, develop penmanship formally, problem solve, explore science and their world around them.

Our Academy program is an alternative to the play based kindergarten curriculum.

Our students develop in language, cognitive, motor, social emotional development and self-regulation & independence.

Students thrive in our small environment where learning is centered on their needs to give them the best advantage for school.

Our class ratio is 1:10. Our objective is to prepare our students with a strong foundation for elementary education. Our students receive a varied well-rounded comprehensive curriculum that develops critical learning skills and habits. Students also learn important foundational skills that independent schools cultivate.

Our program is rich, well rounded, and respects learner interests. It is comprehensive and disciplined in a meaningful connected way that supports students in developing globally minded attitudes.

WHERE THE ADVENTURE BEGINS

I AM A COMMUNICATOR

I express myself confidently and creatively in more than one language and in many ways. I collaborate effectively, listening carefully to the perspectives of other individuals and groups.

I AM A RISK-TAKER

I approach uncertainty with forethought and determination. I work independently and cooperatively to explore new ideas and innovative strategies. I am resourceful and resilient in the face of challenge and change.
