Academics
ELC follows the Ontario Curriculum, complemented by our inquiry-led pedagogical approach known as the ‘Project’—an in-depth exploration of key concepts in contemporary topics that connect across all curricular disciplines. Purposefully designed ateliers throughout the school give children the chance to engage with and investigate these concepts in creative and meaningful ways.
If you happen to visit during one of those magical moments when a child’s cognitive growth takes a leap forward, you might witness Math pirouetting to Mozart, Art whirling with Astronomy, Physics mingling with Proust, and a room full of children from diverse cultural backgrounds engaging with Robotics as though they were the most fascinating toys in the world.
ELC’s approach nurtures each child’s growth, encouraging innovative thinking, creativity, and collaborative research skills—building a strong foundation for success in high school programmes worldwide.
