Areas of Study

Core Subjects

Language, mathematics, history, geography, and science form the foundation of our program. While following Ministry of Education guidelines, we go beyond them, emphasizing the interrelatedness of subjects. Through studying cultures, students develop intercultural awareness and an appreciation of universal values. Strong communication skills are also stressed, as mastery of language is essential for clear expression of ideas, attitudes, and feelings.

French

  • Students learn to listen, read, write, and speak French through diverse resources including texts, workbooks, media, and software.

Music

  • Weekly classes introduce the joy of music as both art and community. Students gain technical skills, cultural and historical knowledge, and opportunities to express themselves through performance.

Art

  • Hands-on projects with a variety of materials help students explore creativity while building artistic ability over time.

Drama

  • Through story theatre, choral speaking, and role play, students build self-expression, communication skills, and confidence.

Physical Education

  • Child-centered classes develop fitness, health knowledge, and social skills, while extracurricular teams foster competition, sportsmanship, and teamwork.

Outdoor Education

  • Conservation and outdoor learning come alive through experiential field activities.

Technology

  • School-provided Mac laptops are used daily, integrating digital tools and up-to-date programs into learning. Students develop fluency and confidence in technology use.
