Primary (K-2)

Strong Foundations

Students build literacy through phonics, fluency, comprehension, vocabulary, and beginning writing—supported by reading centres that provide individualised instruction. Math focuses on number sense, early operations, and foundational concepts like measurement, money, and time. Students also learn through projects and field trips.
