The Elementary Program

Our Elementary Program continues on from the Casa program. The foundation in each subject area has been laid. The consistency for the student makes the transition into an elementary program very easy. The classroom is set up in a similar fashion, in as much as the student is able to choose work from the shelf. The colour coding of materials in the math, language, grammar, geography, time lines, and science area all continue for the child's easy recognition.

In the senior elementary classroom, cathedral ceilings and large bay windows overlooking a treed ravine create a spacious atmosphere where nature is never far from view. The children have a garden area where they have planted over 100 bulbs, which produce a spectacular show of spring flowers. They plant vegetables which are harvested, prepared, and then enjoyed in a luncheon at school.

The children in the elementary program participate in many field trips during the year. Some of past trips have included: University of Western Ontario, art galleries, museums, snow shoeing, the Byron Bog, and live theatre productions. We are always planning new and exciting trips for the children.
