Workshops for Families

Registration is officially open for the 2025-2026 academic year

We have created a suite of workshops for our families to learn about our methodology and to get acquainted with the resources available in our physical and digital environments.
These sessions are led by our pedagogical leaders: the Primary & KG Coordinator, the IT Integrator, the Middle School Coordinator and the Principal.

Introducing parent workshops is an excellent way to engage families in the school’s learning process and teaching methodologies, fostering a supportive learning community. These workshops can cover various topics such as understanding the curriculum structure, approaches to learning, and strategies for supporting literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional development at home.

Interactive sessions, where parents experience hands-on activities similar to what their children do, can provide them with insights into classroom methodologies, including active learning, project-based learning, and transdisciplinary approaches. This transparency helps parents appreciate the school’s goals and equips them with strategies to reinforce these skills at home.

Additionally, workshops on specific themes—like fostering independence, positive reinforcement, or managing screen time—can empower parents with tools aligned with the school’s values, enhancing consistency between home and school environments. By creating a collaborative and open space for discussion, these workshops help parents feel more confident, informed, and integral to their child’s educational journey.
