  N/A

  Intellectual

  The goal is to cultivate "academically strong, creative and critical thinkers, capable of exercising rationality, apprehending truth, and making aesthetic distinctions."

  Balanced

  Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.

  Curriculum pace

  N/A

  Standard-enriched

  Broadly-speaking, the main curriculum -- like that of most schools -- paces the provincially-outlined one. This pace is steady and set by the teachers and school. The curriculum might still be enriched in various ways: covering topics more in-depth and with more vigor than the provincial one, or covering a broader selection of topics.

  Academic culture

  N/A

  Supportive

  A school with a “supportive” academic culture focuses more on process than short-term outcomes: academic performance is a welcomed side-benefit, but not the driving focus. This does not mean the school lacks standards, or has low expectations for its students: a school can have a supportive academic culture and still light the fire of ambition in its students. It does mean, however, the school provides a less intensive culture than schools with a “rigorous” academic classification, and is focused more simply on instilling a love of learning and life-long curiosity.

  ASTOLOT EDUCATIONAL CENTRE

  "Education programs are developed with the parent, child and teaching staff. Small class sizes and experienced, dedicated staff allow for proper implementation. Students and teachers have a role in directing learning. Students have input into how they learn as they become more aware of their own learning style. The method of teaching and learning varies; a student may learn paragraphs in a 'step by step' method, through computer editing, or holistically while researching a science topic."

  To your knowledge, why do families choose your school over others?

  FULFORD ACADEMY

  N/A

  ASTOLOT EDUCATIONAL CENTRE

  "Cooperative learning is not a typical approach, this is precisely why families turn to Astolot. In addition to students reaching their potential, they are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, whilst also developing their personal awareness of how they learn best. While the school offers a range of student support strategies, the ideal student is one who is capable of thriving in a challenging atmosphere, and who operates at the top of his or her peer group."
