Our elementary program follows the guidelines of the Ontario Ministry of Education at all grade levels in all subject areas. Our focus on literacy and numeracy provides our students with a strong foundation upon which to build through their later academic studies in high school and beyond. In their schoolwork and involvement in school activities, we aim to teach our students to be self-motivated, independent, and able to follow written and oral instructions. We also emphasis organization, planning, and prioritizing and encourage students to take responsibility for their schoolwork and be accountable for their actions.
