Academics

Whether two years old or an eighth grader, our goal is to prepare every student for success at leading secondary schools, in addition to creating the foundation to become exemplary global citizens.

Lower School

Our Lower School is home to students in Pre-Primary (age 2) through the Grade 3. Here, relationships serve as the foundation of each student's learning experience. The educational foundation of each child is complimented by movement, collaboration, intentional time spent outdoors, and the use of technology as learning tools. From day one, our goal is to instill a love of learning in a nurturing and joyful environment.
