We offer both full time (Monday – Friday) and part time (Monday-Wednesday-Friday)schooling for students in JK through grade 3.
A core belief of ours is that schooling is much more effective with more student-teacher contact. With that in mind we commit to a maximum student/educator ratio of 10:1.
Some areas of academic focus at Creative Minds Learning Center:
- Outdoor Focused – We believe the natural world to be very grounding, and spending as much time outside as possible is a good thing
- Literacy Development – As literacy rates fall across Ontario, we believe in focusing on fundamental phonetic teaching rather than memorization.
- Real Life Numeracy – Developing math and numeracy skills isn’t just about completing worksheets. We strive to teach numeracy skills with a hands on approach to really cement core ideas.
- Student Driven Learning – Students will learn best when learning about things they want to learn about. They have passions, so lets let them explore them.
- Creative and Hands on Learning – Students learn best when doing. This idea will be a central one in all of our explorations.
- Free Discovery Time – Schools should have a mix of free time to explore, discover and play as well as learning time. We strive to balance these.
