Our Team
We are a team of monolingual + multilingual parents, educators, and community members looking to make a difference with our future generation. Together we want to encourage children to grow within a multicultural world by allowing their imagination to flourish in a full immersion education program. Learning and integrating another language -- ideally before the age of 7yrs old -- is proven to build neurological pathways that promote problem solving, analytical skills, cultural curiosity, and economic growth and possibilities. The benefits of learning + living another language(s) are endless, but that is exactly what we want to share: endless opportunities for children, adults and the community.
Le Castor or The Beaver
The beavers are amazing animals, known to diversify their habitat by building their home into a rich ecosystem and subsequently carving out a new and thriving community within it. We want to create the same for your children, a wonderful environment that will positively impact their future.
