Curriculum

Foundations Private School is proud of its tradition of academic success.  Fewer students in each classroom enable us to develop an excellent rapport with each child. We encourage personal responsibility, diligence and goal setting.  Our programs not only meet but often surpass the Ontario Curriculum Guidelines.

Students gain the necessary skills in Character Development, Language Arts and Mathematics that will prepare them for the future. While Science and Social Studies come alive through hands-on experiments and field trips. Additionally, academics are enriched through Physical Education, Technology, French, Music, Fine Arts and a comprehensive Extra Curricular program.  

Character Development

Optimum learning requires social cooperation.  Through positive discipline techniques, students learn strategies that enable them to be collaborative, self-reliant and resilient members of their school community. Classroom Meetings, Student in Focus Assemblies, Classroom Connections and the House System are all integral components of our character education.

Language Arts:

We believe that the ability to read and write effectively is the most important tool students acquire during their formative years.  These skills form the building blocks for future academic success.  Our program begins with phonetic-based reading instruction and formal spelling lessons.  Novel study and reading comprehension assignments are introduced to further develop reading proficiency. As children advance through the grades, increased importance is placed on formal note taking, debating and public speaking.

 Mathematics:

Assignments are marked and then corrected to ensure students receive the continuous direction they require. Emphasis is placed on teaching problem solving strategies and concept mastery, as measured by daily work and regular testing.
