OVERVIEW
Learning in the primary years’ sets patterns for future growth, both in fundamental skills and in the areas of curiosity, motivation, and problem-solving. Students develop their knowledge and skills in all aspects of growth: physical, social, emotional, and intellectual. A dynamic curriculum, coupled with a commitment to meet the needs of each child, makes GSA an inspiring place for learning.
Pre-School classrooms are self-contained. A talented and dedicated head teacher in each class directs the curriculum in language, & Literacy Numeracy, respect and responsibility. They are supported by assistant teachers and librarians. Subject teachers provide instruction in art, music, physical education, science etc.
Just as our Students are learners, so too are the teachers. Working in grade level teams or as a divisional faculty, the curriculum is regularly reviewed and modified. Individuals or groups of teachers regularly attend professional development workshops, conferences, or graduate level courses.
Communication between parents and teachers is an important part of a young student’s education. The teachers are easily reachable by phone, email, or in person.
