【Early Childhood】
A typical Early Childhood school day consists of reading books, writing stories, inquiring into sciences and systems, and practicing numbers. Literacy and numeracy are introduced in age-appropriate ways in our 3 and 4 year old programs, and more formally in our Kindergarten B class. Every day students will also meet either a visual art, music, Physical education, Japanese, technology teacher, or librarian who will enrich the learning for that day

【Elementary (G1-5)】
In addition to the Primary Years Programme, the curricular programs draw from AERO, Next Generation, and ACARA standards. Balanced Literacy uses highly effective approaches to create readers, writers, and effective communicators. Bridges, our mathematics program, requires our students to have a deep conceptual understanding, while being proficient in key skills
