Val & Students
Junior School Principal and three students in the library
Welcome to the Junior School
Welcome to the Junior School. The earliest years of a child’s educational journey are a time of limitless exploration and incredible growth. At the Junior School, we harness the natural curiosity of childhood by engaging and empowering our youngest students to discover who they are while learning about others and the world around them.
From the moment they enter our bright, welcoming, state-of-the-art classrooms, students are immersed in a progressive, gender-inclusive environment aimed at nurturing the whole child:
- Our talented faculty and small classroom sizes provide students with a learning space that allows for one-on-one attention, independent exploration and the collaborative support necessary to ensure each child has the opportunity to excel.
- As the first school in Canada to be accredited to offer the full International Baccalaureate (IB) programme from JK to Grade 12, our experienced Junior School team expertly delivers the IB’s Primary Years Programme (PYP) through inquiry-based learning that provides our students with the skills they need to develop into inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are engaged citizens of the world.
- Our strong co-curricular programme of athletics, after-school activities and leadership opportunities provide students with a well-rounded and vibrant experience that extends well beyond the classroom.
- Our sense of community and service further enriches the learning experience with hands-on field trips and meaningful community initiatives.
The Junior School is committed to delivering a transformative experience to our students that builds their confidence, challenges their comfort zone and sparks a lifelong love of learning. We look forward to being part of your journey!
