Grades K–4

Grades K–4

Young children learn naturally through imitation and action, so our curriculum features plenty of healthy activity and movement. They explore letters, numbers, colours, songs, rhymes and verse while learning about themselves and the world around them.

Grades 5–8

Grades 5–8

Students approaching adolescence develop critical thinking and creative problem-solving through a varied choice of projects, assignments and community service. They research, interpret information, form opinions and learn to express their thoughts clearly.

Grades 9–12

Grades 9–12

Research shows that high-quality learning early in a child’s life leads to lasting success at school and at work, and to children who are more well-rounded emotionally and socially. Reading together at home is one of the simplest ways to start: children who are read to from an early age build richer vocabulary and stronger listening and language skills before they ever enter a classroom.

  • Read aloud together for a few minutes every day
  • Talk about the pictures and ask your child questions
  • Keep books within easy reach at home
