Our Nursery School boasts a wonderful team of teachers and support staff who are not only role models of our Torah values but who are passionate about a high standard and quality Early Childhood Education. They are committed to both the philosophy and implementation of an exceptionally, rich, newly revised and developed integrated Kodesh and secular curriculum. The classrooms are 'Child Centred Places' of imagination, exploration and discovery. Our school exudes warmth; a space in which all family members feel part of a community and have a sense of belonging. We believe that school is an extension of home and we enjoy welcoming our parents to interactive crafts, learning and sports activities. Teachers at Torah Academy Primary School have higher standards than those in many public and private schools, both academically and ethically. While our teachers follow the national and provincial standards as the platform to drive their curricula, students learn in exciting, tangible ways, with teachers pushing hard to integrate the material so that every subject dovetails into each grade's overall goals in history, language arts, math and science. Done in a creative format, national, international and Jewish history are key for each grade's studies. Students research and perform vivid historical re-enactments to make the lessons of the past come to life. The preparation for these projects begins with the literature chosen paralleling the historical era of each grade. The wonder of the universe remains not only spiritual but is broadened through scientific exploration. Critical thinking, while an integral part of all learning, is an essential tool in writing. Teachers stress creative writing and computer research for papers to integrate with all subjects. One is to teach students to take risks, creatively. Using both the creative and the concrete methods enables students to be effective, life-long communicators.
