Inspiring a Love of Learning in our Primary School

At every turn, Kent Place Primary School girls eagerly raise their hands and ask questions as they explore, experiment and learn. They are wide-eyed with wonder in the science center as they watch the praying mantis nymphs emerge. They learn the basics of programming in the computer lab. They measure and graph statistics about pumpkins they picked from a farm. In this structured and warm environment, students learn at a tremendous pace — not only about academics, but also about cooperation, respect and individual responsibility. Students develop critical thinking skills along with the ability to assess their own learning and progress.
