The Elementary department is a student-centered environment which is committed to appreciating and utilizing our students' strengths and individuality through collaborative teamwork to achieve academic excellence and to promote a foundation for life-long learning.

We aim to provide an involved community of students and families happily engaged in active learning in an environment that is tranquil and purposeful. We envision students who are confident in their academic success and are developing socially, physically and psychologically.

In the Elementary department we believe that a child's education is the foundation for learning and achievement throughout life. We constantly strive to create an environment where respect and care are modeled by all. We aim to provide an educational environment that enhances and supports the intellectual and social progress of each child so that each child will be prepared to compete in a global economy.

We provide a quality, student-centered environment that fosters maximum learning by each student, enabling each to enjoy life-long learning while becoming a productive global citizen. The curriculum prescribed by the Ministry of Education, Ontario, Canada (http://www.edu.gov.on.ca) is adhered to and enriched to meet the ubiquitous needs of the proverbial 'international student' and 'third culture child'.

In addition to our hands on learning approach the academic program is augmented and enhanced by field trips, diverse extracurricular activities, clubs and sports, We are committed to providing an educational environment that:

• Is conducive to meeting the needs of each student.
• Fosters quality education for each child.
• Develops self-confidence and a positive self-image in each child.
