About the Junior Kindergarten Program:
Students in Junior Kindergarten (JK) enjoy a newly-renovated bright and cheerful space in our Early Primary Learning Centre (E.P.L.C.) located at our former Junior School site at 28 Highland Avenue. JK students share the E.P.L.C. with the Pre-Kindergarten program.
At kindergarten age, children need a warm, inviting, accepting and supervised program that will stimulate their growth and development and maintain their curiosity about learning. Our junior kindergarten program works to further strengthen our students’ social, emotional and physical skills with varied opportunities to explore reading, writing, mathematics, science and technology, social studies and the arts.
In addition, our program offers daily French instruction, physical education and music. Our music program is nurtured and valued beginning in pre-kindergarten. Our music specialist teacher ensures a quality age-appropriate program that honours the rich tradition of musical and personal development.
Students in Junior Kindergarten do not wear a school uniform. A School uniform is not required until students enter Senior Kindergarten.
No more making lunches! Lunch is served to full-time students each day at the E.P.L.C. Healthy snacks are provided to both part-time and full-time students. Click Here for more information about the Lunch Program.
