This school harmonizes the best of Montessori philosophy core principles with the BC curriculum for our students. Montessori Education combines freedom with responsibility, a more active role for the children in their own learning, high standards of academic excellence, social awareness and moral development, and a vision of humanity and its accomplishments that inspire children to take their place in their communities when the time comes as responsible, contributing adults. It is a philosophy that honours the students rights to be self-directed, self monitoring, and risktakers. We strive to create a culture where everyone feels connected, included, cared for, respected, safe and happy.
