Kindergarten
Instruction takes place individually and in small groups. While continuing to focus on self-concept, development, and creative expression, the program acquires a strong academic orientation. Social interaction and creative play are emphasised so students learn through active play. Reading and mathematics instruction provide a solid background for first grade.
Grades 1 through 4
Small classes, nurturing environment, and a challenging program enable teachers to provide a strong foundation in the basic academic skills and to emphasize each student's moral, spiritual, physical, and social development. Students are encouraged to ask questions, seek answers, and to learn both from their peers and teachers. Project-based learning is used across the curriculum.
Rooted in the legacy of a forward thinking and compassionate visionary, Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat, a Sacred Heart Education offers a safe, supportive, and intellectually stimulating community where energetic and curious young girls blossom into creative, confident, and open-minded leaders. Public speaking begins with even the youngest student and builds from conversation-based to full presentations with confidence and poise.
Passionate Sacred Heart educators will guide her curious mind through a personal education that keeps the fun in learning. A literature-rich academic environment will foster a love of reading, writing, and public speaking. Math will be mastered through a flexible, hands-on program that encourages confident and strategic thinking. The learning environment is small and mighty fostering fearless independence and confident grace.
A progressive science curriculum will promote learning through discovery, helping students think like scientists who explore the world around them. Collaboration on project-based instruction supports community-driven learning within Kindergarten - Grade Four. Teaching methods incorporate "making" and STEM topics. Teachers integrate technology in the curriculum in addition to a technology class for students to become familiar with digital resources and learning to navigate computer programs and apps.
We've watched our daughter grow and learn in this nurturing environment where she feels safe, supported and loved. As a parent of a little girl, we feel nothing is more important when it comes to education. Sacred Heart is a special place.
