    Emotional
    The goal is to cultivate "emotionally intelligent and confident individuals, capable of leading both themselves and others."
    Social
    The goal is to cultivate "socially aware and active citizens, motivated to change the world (or their community) for the better."

    Curriculum pace

    N/A

    Student-paced
    The main curriculum pace is non-standardized and is HIGHLY responsive to the pacing of individual students, (via differentiated instruction, differentiated assessment, etc). In theory, some students outpace the default/normalized curriculum, while others spend periods "behind schedule" if they need the extra time.

    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.

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

    ELEVATE LEARNING CENTRE

    "Time and again our families emphasize our care and our expertise. They love that students are in small groups or working 1:1 for dedicated, tailored support. They report that students who hated reading are now reading chapter books. Students that were reluctant to go to school are excited each day. Our parents also appreciate our consistent communication about what strategies we're using, and how they can continue at home."

    What aspect of your school is underappreciated?

    ELEVATE LEARNING CENTRE

    "We believe learning happens inside and outside of the classroom. We offer frequent trips into the community, enough that they can seem commonplace. This includes trips to the library, to our local food bank to volunteer, weekly swim time, and in and around the city to support student learning. These trips are fun, but they are also a valuable opportunity for students to learn more about their community and get involved."

    What might families find surprising about your school?

    ELEVATE LEARNING CENTRE

    "We believe that open and reciprocal communication is the key to student success. We welcome parent and student feedback as it is a crucial component to student progress and achievement. You may be surprised to see students jumping on our little trampoline or sitting quietly on the couch with headphones on. We encourage our students to voice their needs, and we listen. If they need time, we will give them time."
