At our school, we pride ourselves on providing a personalized and engaging learning experience. With small class sizes of just 10-15 students, each child receives
the individual attention they deserve. Our passionate and dedicated teachers are not only highly qualified but also deeply committed to fostering each student’s unique growth and development. They create an atmosphere of mutual respect, enthusiasm, and collaboration, ensuring that every student feels valued and supported. With a team of young, community-rooted educators, we inspire confidence and interaction in the classroom. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it’s a close-knit community where students thrive in a positive, family-oriented environment.

Language

We are dedicated to ensuring that Kanienʼkéha is spoken and heard throughout the school. We are thrilled to announce that, in collaboration with FNEC, our community has been selected to participate in the Language Revitalization Project for 2024-2028, funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage.

To ensure the success of this project, we have formed a dedicated committee in partnership with the Cultural Center, along with our Kanienʼkéha Teachers, Principals, and the Director of Education.

Our first goal is to establish clear benchmarks for Kanienʼkéha classrooms, outlining what students should be learning at each grade level, from Nursery through Grade 11, as they progress through the years!

Right down to the youngest...

Preschool

The Nursery/Kindergarten class is organized to encourage children’s active participation. Learning centers stimulate their curiosity and allow them to explore various areas of learning language, the arts, mathematics, the social sciences, and science and technology.

 

Ohenton Karihwatehkwen/Thanksgiving Address is integrated into the curriculum. It asks us as human beings to consider the purpose of everything in nature as part of the design of the Creator of Life. As long as everything is appreciated for what it does and what it shares to sustain the cycles of creation, everything will be all right, the world will be in balance and life will continue.

 

Onkwehonhwe values are instilled. Our program is designed to help your child establish links between classroom learning and everyday life. During individual or group activities, the children will have an opportunity to become familiar with ideas and practices that are specifically related to today’s world. The links between classroom learning and the world outside are explored in areas of lifelong learning.

 

Also offered is a traditional music program. Activities related to children’s concerns and interests are by nature cross-curricular. Drama is given at Cycle 2 & 3. The program is rooted to the children’s everyday lives and their human, physical and cultural environment. The students are given the opportunity to discover various means of expression and creation and to become aware of the different ways that support and construct learning.
