About the School:

Canadian School offers a high-quality educational program and total English immersion, in which our community, collaborators, and parents work together to ensure the success of all students.

Our goal is to train students who have the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to succeed in the future. Students who are independent and innovative critical thinkers, effective communicators, and problem solvers, who continue their learning throughout their lives contributing to the well-being of society.

Curriculum

We have designed a comprehensive educational program thinking about the needs of students at each stage of their personal and academic development. Our program is aligned with the SEP program and the Ministry of Education in Alberta.

Our preschool program is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, which seeks to create a learning environment that motivates and facilitates a child's way of thinking by stimulating their senses. With the Reggio Emilia philosophy, children have full access to multiple activities, for example, painting, sculpture, drama, etc., since this program is based on discovery, investigation, and inquiry. It is a place where children lead the way and where teachers explore a child's interest, her ability to question, and her natural curiosity.

We use the English language in teaching and as a means of communication within the school at all levels, allowing our students to learn a second language in a similar way to learning their mother tongue.
