Early Years Program
We recognize that the early years program (Pre-K and KG1) is crucial to laying a strong foundation for future success. Students are educated through a play-based approach aimed at children learning at their own pace that promotes overall student growth.
Elementary Curriculum
Students will have a full choice of opportunities to explore while developing key academic skills. Engaging cross-curricular lessons promote the love for learning and challenge students to take risks and learn from mistakes.
Upper School Curriculum
In Middle School (Grades 6 – 8), we offer a holistic program which encourages both independence and responsibility. Our High School (Grades 9 – 12) curriculum is an academically challenging pre-university program with support systems to encourage student achievement, maturity and more autonomy.
