Our Philosophy

Our teaching methods focus on the individual with a sincere regard for the uniqueness of each individual learner. We take an inquiry-based approach centred around an engaging theme to allow each child to pursue their areas of interest and develop high level thinking skills through this pursuit.

This learning environment is particularly suited to the needs of gifted children in other respects as well. Intellectual growth is a socially constructed process, and gifted students gain much from interacting with like-minded peers in order to discuss, experiment, explore and reach their potential as learners.

Such students also need teachers and mentors who understand how to shape classroom experiences around the uncommon and wonderful nuances of their thinking.

The interpersonal and instructional dynamics of our program accommodates both of these needs in an atmosphere that is vibrant with intellectual and creative energy and the deepest respect for the individual learner.
