From our toddler centres through to primary school, our programmes help cultivate the skills, dispositions, and aspirations of children to unlock their full potential. The process of learning is valued as children participate in creative and collaborative exploration and inquiry; they build a growth mindset, develop as researchers, engage in meta-cognition and innovation, and hone those transferable skills essential to their school lives and beyond the classroom. ELC International Schools achieves this through a particular symbiosis; we follow the curricular goals of the Ontario Curriculum, while the Reggio Emilia approach to education inspires the implementation of these goals. Consistently scoring highly on the PISA scores, the Ontario Curriculum provides a rigorous academic framework whilst being flexible to allow for contextual interpretation regarding how these curricular expectations are achieved. It works in harmony with our Reggio-inspired approach in terms of the importance it places on learning through inquiry and relationships.

For children to succeed in the future, they must become expert learners, and this begins at an early age. ELC International Schools’ pedagogy of knowing and valuing your child for who they uniquely are, allows your child to grow their own mind – a strong foundation for high school programmes worldwide and for the future they choose beyond the classroom.
