ELEMENTARY SCHOOL’S CHOICE MATTERS FOR YOUR KID’S LIFE

An Elementary school is a place where the first social and community life of your child starts… It becomes a second home for boys and girls, all of whom are naturally curious about the world around them, as well as excited about learning. Our school’s curriculum is designed to build on this natural curiosity and to channel the enthusiasm of the boys into a lifelong love for learning, discovery and understanding. Throughout all four grades of our education boys and girls are exposed to a rich, broad curriculum through which they develop a strong foundation of basic academic skills, as well as a vast range of experiences in which they can learn, create and imagine, culminating in the Fourth Grade with opportunities to lead. The program challenges each boy as appropriate and helps develop a love of reading and writing, competence in and excitement about mathematics, and the beginning skills of inquiry and research. The boys explore the worlds of music, art, and drama, giving voice to their creative spirits, and participate every day in physical activities that utilize the boys’ innate need for movement and exercise. Spanish is introduced to the boys in the 1st Grade.

How Our Approach is Different?

In accordance to our school’s philosophy we love to work closely with parents/carers and we recognize a huge importance that choosing a school is. It must be the one where you feel confident your child will be cared for, valued and most importantly will be happy. Your child will then be ready to learn. Staff and governors are all very proud of this school and we recommend that prospective parents/carers visit us during the school day so you can see what a happy, exciting place it is. Each boy and girl is known well by the teachers and much attention is given to providing the best education for him as an individual. With many opportunities for success, he can develop his confidence. Small classes and instructional groups provide the vehicle for achieving these goals. Our elemntary school helps each boy and girl to become a responsible and independent student, one who is a creative thinker, respectful of himself and others, and appreciative of the differences amongst people.
