Our Perspective

How we see The Cole Academy

A holistic approach to learning, richly infused with the arts, self-expression, environmental education, and social awareness, sets The Cole Academy apart as a uniquely progressive school. Central to its curriculum is outdoor learning, with one day each week dedicated to environmental studies, cultivating a connection with nature. The Cole Academy carefully tailors individual education plans to each student's needs, benefitting from small class sizes and the Student Mapping and Success program, celebrating each student’s unique talents and interests. Core subjects like mathematics and science are supplemented with lessons about under-represented communities, cultivating a deeper sense of citizenship and social consciousness among students. Beginning in Grade 7, the academy offers comprehensive guidance on high school preparation, encompassing school choice, application processes, and the development of essential skills. This holistic approach at The Cole Academy is designed to cultivate well-rounded individuals, thoroughly prepared to embrace the challenges of secondary education and beyond.
