Curriculum Focus - Accreditation!
We are very proud to announce that we have received full Accreditation for our implementation of the IPC and IMYC Curriculums. The process involved a lengthy self-review, then a visit from the accreditation team that included interviews, classroom observations, and a full review of our policies and documentation.
This week we received the notification of our success. Mr. Brian and I wish to extend our heartfelt thanks to our staff, parents, students, and wider community. This could not have been achieved without everyone's help and trust. We have worked hard for 5 years to build our school into a place that is welcoming, safe, fun, and achieves a high level of learning & student engagement.
Please check our social media to see the posts from the Accrediting organization: ICA.
Learning Highlight - 5-year-old Prep Class
Starting in August 2024, we will be opening a new class in the InterDivision Building. The IPC curriculum actually begins from 5 years old, called "year 1" in British standards. This allows all learning goals to be assessed over 2 years called "mileposts". To better achieve our curriculum's full potential, we will implement a new "Prep Class". We decided to call it the Prep class, so it won't be confused with the kindergarten.
