Our Progressive Education Program...
Our Progressive Education Program incorporates a student-centered, holistic approach to education that emphasizes the value and importance of learning that is:
-
Inquiry-based: Placing the student's intellectual curiosity at the foundation of the learning process.
-
Personal: Recognizing that learners are valued and fully supported in the development of interests, self-knowledge and sense of purpose.
-
Inclusive: Creating environments that make space for all students to feel seen, respected and cared for regardless of ethnicity, identity, sexual orientation, ability, or religion.
At the center of our approach is the Portrait of a Children of Peace Learner, designed to support our students’ development into curious explorers, critical thinkers, inclusive collaborators, creative communicators and change makers.
We build upon our proud tradition of academic excellence, inclusivity, belonging, faith and peace, equipping our students with the knowledge, resources and support they need to be successful both in school and in our society.
At Children of Peace School we pride ourselves on creating a collaborative progressive educational experience. Here you will find our grade bands are grouped in learning cohorts, fostering a sense of community and mutual support among students. Each cohort is designed to encourage peer interaction and cooperative learning, ensuring that every child feels valued and included.
Our dedicated educators use innovative teaching methods to cater to diverse learning styles, promoting critical thinking and creativity. We integrate technology seamlessly into our curriculum to enhance learning opportunities and prepare students for the future.
Early Childhood
Age 3 - 5
We introduce students to their first learning environment through a variety of activities, including structured lessons and playtime. These activities help students develop their academic skills, their social skills, and their overall sense of well-being.

In small class environments, we provide a curriculum crafted to prepare our students for the next steps for success.

Students of all faiths participate in daily prayer and religion classes that teach the Catholic faith and have opportunities for worship at weekly prayer service.
