  Developmental Priorities

  N/A

  Balanced

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

  Intellectual

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

  Curriculum

  N/A

  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.

  Montessori

  Montessori programs aimed at preschool and Kindergarten- aged children allow young learners to choose which “tasks” or activities interest them. These tasks centre around special Montessori puzzles -- the essential features of these puzzles being they contain a “right answer” and allow for self-correction. A strong emphasis is therefore placed on learning being concrete and rooted in practical experience, along with children developing a sense of self-sufficiency and confidence. Specially trained teachers act as guides, introducing children to progressively more difficult materials when appropriate. A Montessori classroom is typically very calm and orderly, with children working alone or, sometimes, in small groups.

  "Our school started in 1995 with just a handful of students and slowly we have grown to a student population of 60 children. We aim to keep our student population small because our work is best done in smaller groups of students. Over the years, our school and its program have changed considerably as we adapt to changing times while adhering to our core values of focusing on reading, writing, numeracy, music, and French"

  "ABC Montessori provides a strong and challenging learning environment for students. To achieve success, students and parents must understand that effort must come from the student. Without commitment and hard work, students will not achieve success under any circumstances. Enrolling in a private school should not necessarily equate with guaranteed success. We provide a nurturing environment and the necessary guidance, but students need to put in the hard work and consistency. We go beyond childcare. Our students get ahead by build a strong academic foundation."
