Our Classrooms
At our private school, classrooms have been specifically designed to foster each child's independence and encourage them to follow their interests. With small class sizes, our educators are able to provide regular one-on-one lesson time with every child, in addition to group and individual work.

Our Materials
Montessori materials encourage self-directed and hands-on learning. A wide variety of materials that support math, science, literacy, creativity, and collaborative play are available to our students. These tools allow each child to explore and discover their interests so that they may grow.
We are an uninvited guest of Quw'utsun mustimuuhw' (Quw'utsun people) in their stolen and occupied homeland. Hul'q'uminum'-speaking nations who have governed and cared for their territories since time uncounted range from Snaw-Naw-As First Nation ("Nanoose Bay") and Snuneymuxw First Nation ("Nanaimo") in the north to Malahat First Nation in the south. Five nations (Cowichan Tribes, Halalt First Nation, Ts'uubaa-asatx First Nation, Lyackson First Nation, and Penelakut Tribe), forming the Hul'q'umi'num' Treaty Group, have engaged with colonial governments over many years, determined to repatriate-rematriate and protect some of the lands taken by our society.
Shquw’utsun is the real name for “Cowichan”.
