Apostrophe Kids is taught by Ontario Certified Teachers. Our teachers pride themselves on offering their knowledges along with praise and encouragement to ensure students are inspired to learn. Through ongoing in-class and descriptive feedback they build individual student learning. With a low student to teacher ratio, teachers create a safe environment for students to explore and take risks.
Apostrophe Kids curriculum has a foundation built on four key components: Reading, Writing, Oral Communication and Media Literacy. All four components are weaved into every level. The skills that they will develop and the learning that they will take away will be transferable to all subject areas in their educational experience making them well-rounded students with the added advantage of being a step ahead.
Our mission is to cultivate, lead and inspire our students to become world-class thinkers and expert communicators, deliver a challenging and exciting curriculum that exceeds Ministry expectations, foster a love of learning, and help students realize and maximize their potential.
