Lifelong Learners Grow Here
Our robust academic program is dynamic, challenging, and rewarding. Students drive their own learning, guided by supportive, expert teachers who get to know each boy and his unique passions, interests, and strengths. Here, students discover who they are...and who they can become.
Through innovative, inquiry-based learning experiences, students deepen their understanding of themselves, their community, and the world around them. They make their own discoveries, find their voice, and create meaningful connections across subjects, in and outside the classroom. With an emphasis on exploration, experiential learning, and collaborative discussion, students gain the knowledge and skills to be lifelong learners, successful in any path they may choose.

We inspire students to develop a love of mathematics and problem-solving, engaging with and creating models that summarize how the world works. Through math education, we offer a variety of differentiated activities so that all students can experience success and develop a positive outlook towards mathematics and self-efficacy. -

Languages allow students to explore and become aware of different ways of thinking – essential to whole-child and character development. Exposure to new languages and cultures opens up students’ opportunities to connect with the world around them, building socially responsible citizens who contribute to their communities. -

Social Studies
In Social Studies, students examine different social aspects, historic and current events, systems and skills that help them make sense of the world and their place in it. Through integrated, discussion-based approaches and student-led projects, students are supported to make new connections and follow their unique interests. -
Physical Education
We teach a “Fit for Life” model where students are encouraged to see sports, fitness, and wellness as a lifelong endeavour.
