Our location is at the Falstaff Family Centre in Stratford, Ontario. The focus of our classrooms is to provide a well-rounded education that inspires all children to be inquisitive and work to their individual, full potential. We aim to give Kindergarten and Grades 1 to 3 children a solid foundation for all their academic education and we hope to instill a joy for learning in them. In Grades 4 to 6 we tap into the children's love for learning and strengthen their confidence and self-esteem. We strive to ensure a smooth transition for Grade 7 & 8 students into secondary school.
