Carmel New Church School has a Traditional approach to Curriculum (as opposed to Liberal Arts, Progressive, Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Waldorf approach).
New Church curriculum is developed in hand with the Ontario curriculum according to stages of development: Primary students thrive on movement, sensory experiences, singing, simple tales, and praise & affection. We use this to create a love of learning and develop basic skills in reading and mathematics Junior students demonstrate more social awareness as they begin to see deeper levels of meaning in stories, characters, and events. Through student-led inquiry, academic concepts are grounded in tangible examples so students can build on these connections to better understand curriculum principles. Intermediate students are encouraged to transition from knowing to understanding through focusing on the application of that knowledge. By viewing the Ontario Curriculum through a Christian lens, students look for positive, useful applications for the concepts they learn.

New Church beliefs are founded in the Word of God in the Old and New Testaments, and the theological writings of Emanuel Swedenborg. Some of the core beliefs of the New Church are: The Lord Jesus Christ is the one loving and all-powerful God. He is never angry and never gives up on us. The Bible is the Lord speaking to us through literal stories, parables, and a deeper spiritual meaning. Salvation is an ongoing process of believing what is true and living a life of good will toward others. Spiritual choice is a gift from the Lord. We choose our eternal destiny. Life after death is real. Everyone continues his or her life as a complete person soon after death. The Lord’s church is made up of all people throughout the world who love Him and live good lives. Useful service brings love for others to life. O The second coming of Christ is a new era of Christianity based on a new understanding of the Lord.

As a school connected with a Church, we look at a child’s education as part of the bigger life picture. Yes, we want to equip each child with the knowledge that will serve them in finding a career one day. However, it’s not their career that will bring them happiness, but rather their relationships with others and their inner connection with God.
Equal emphasis is placed on a balance of priorities: intellectual, emotional, social and physical cultivation.
