We invited Marie Bates, Principal and Founder at CGS (Children's Garden School), to share a message.
The overview highlights the vision, values, and guiding principles that shape leadership and the student experience at CGS (Children's Garden School).
Marie Bates, Principal and Founder
Thank you for your interest in our school. CGS has been a home away from home for so many children, and their families, since it was founded in 1986. We pride ourselves on getting to know each child, to the fullest extent possible, while they are with us. Our young students, from Preschool to Grade 4 are protected, cherished, motivated and inspired during the first, and all important, years of their formal education. When you truly know your students, it is easy to do what's best for them.
We are committed to our small class sizes and balanced curriculum. We believe that children can learn as much in Music class as they can in Math class. Along with our strong core curriculum, students are given the opportunity to immerse themselves in the arts and physical activity. Our goal is to provide an education that is rich and diverse by placing importance on all aspects of a wide and varied curriculum.
As founding Principal, I have been honoured to work with, and support, a staff that is known for their dedication and commitment to the CGS philosophy. Each and every student is celebrated for who they are. Our teachers deliver an exceptional program while keeping the heart in education. Please visit our website and see what makes CGS the special place it is.
