Our Elementary School Teachers
Our elementary school teachers are passionate educators who build great connections with learners in the Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 7 range. These teachers are experts in early literacy and know how to make learning fun.
Our Secondary School Teachers
Our secondary school teachers enable Grade 8 to Grade 12 students to quickly gain knowledge and understanding. They seek to make this process as efficient and exciting as possible.
Little Mountain takes great pride in being a caring, nurturing place for our students. We work with students to help them gain confidence in their studies.
Above all, our high school teachers support students to work efficiently. Students are provided with the tools to think critically, communicate confidently, and write using their own unique voice.
Why Our Elementary School Programs
Pre-Kindergarten – Grade 7 students thrive in a holistic educational environment. They develop an early passion for lifelong learning and the following critical skills:
- Early literacy (reading and writing)
- Creativity
- Project-based collaboration
- Critical thinking
- Developing unique learning strengths and character
Why Our Secondary School Programs
From Grade 8, knowledge transfer becomes increasingly important. Students need to develop a wide range of academic skills and subject matter expertise.
No two children are the same. Therefore, our senior programs are personally paced, providing students with increased time and energy devoted to their areas of challenge. We offer hybrid (with students both online and in LMLA classrooms) learning opportunities for senior programs. Students will develop the following critical skills:
- Knowledge transfer skills with strong subject matter expertise
- Research and presentation skills development
- Academic Integrity
- Ability to access robust course content in Math, Sciences, English, and AP
- Be motivated and share educational experience by expertise
We are here to support our community. We do this through the education of children and young people. This means helping children and families adapt to, and succeed within, the educational system in Canada.
