  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

  Rigorous

  A school with a “rigorous” academic culture places a high value on academic performance, and expects their students to do the same. This does not mean the school is uncaring, unsupportive, or non-responsive -- far from it. A school can have a rigorous academic culture and still provide excellent individual support. It does mean, however, the school places a particular emphasis on performance -- seeking the best students and challenging them to the fullest extent -- relative to a normal baseline. High expectations and standards – and a challenging yet rewarding curriculum – are the common themes here. Keep in mind this classification is more relevant for the older grades: few Kindergarten classrooms, for example, would be called “rigorous”.

  Preschool/K curriculum

  Play-based

  Play-based programs are the most common type of preschool and Kindergarten, and are founded on the belief young children learn best through play. Largely open-ended and minimally structured, play-based programs aim to develop social skills and a love of attending school. “Pre-academic” skills are taught, but in a more indirect way than at, say, an Academic program: through children playing in different “stations” set up around the classroom, which children choose on their own volition. Stations often contain an indirect lesson or developmental goal. Play-based classrooms are highly social and active.

  CRESTWOOD SCHOOL

  "Located in a picturesque, wooded valley in the Bayview/Post Road area, Crestwood School provides quality education to students in Junior Kindergarten to Grade 6. At Crestwood, we practise the traditional art of teaching-challenging young minds to learn and structuring experiences that make learning possible. At the same time, we are concerned with the "whole child," striving to balance a child's physical, social and emotional development. Smaller class sizes are maintained, allowing for individual attention and the fostering of effective communication between students and teachers in a friendly, caring, nurturing environment. Crestwood strongly promotes co-operative attitudes and behaviour, and is committed to the preparation of self-confident, self-disciplined individuals who respect the feelings and rights of others. Each teacher is the key. With a well-planned program, a positive rapport with each student, a close communication between home and school, and a sense of commitment and dedication, our goals are met!"
