Everest has exceeded our expectations in every way - academically, athletically, and even nutritionally! Mrs. P makes the best shepherd's pie and brownies.

 In just a few months, we can see a huge change in our son on and off the ice! He exudes confidence as a student and as a goalie. Everest has made the difference.

Lower Elementary Academic Program (JK to Gr. 2)

High-quality early learning experiences are crucial for establishing a foundation for the acquisition of knowledge and skills that will affect later learning and behaviour. Grounded in knowledge of child development and providing an environment that encourages students to be active learners and accept new challenges, Everest offers early learning that build on and extend young children’s intuitive and informal knowledge.

Reading success is the foundation for achievement throughout the school years since children who successfully learn to read in the early primary years of school are well prepared to read for learning and for pleasure in the years to come.

Developing a solid mathematical foundation from JK is essential for children as they are building beliefs about what mathematics is, about what it means to know and do mathematics, and about themselves as mathematics learners. These beliefs influence their thinking about, performance in, and attitudes toward mathematics and decisions related to studying mathematics in later years.

JK to Gr. 2 students can expect a very unique experience that will prepare them for future academic and athletic success.

Elementary Academic Program (Gr. 3 to Gr. 8)

For students in grades three to five, the literature-based reading curriculum continues to emphasize comprehension and confidence in reading skills. Students further their learning experience with book projects, writer's notebooks, oral reporting and formal speeches.  

In Mathematics, multiplication and division are introduced. Fractions, measurement and the use of graphing and spreadsheets come into the picture. By fifth grade, fractions, decimals and equivalents are mastered and pre-algebra and pre-geometry are introduced. Students in this group begin to excel in their knowledge of the world around them. Social Studies, Science and Environmental Studies are in-depth and challenging.

For students in grades six to eight, extensive training in research, writing and presentation skills equips each child with the essential "competitive edge" for advanced academic pursuits. Emphasis is placed on building strong vocabulary and language abilities. In addition, our reading program for middle school presents a very challenging selection of important works for reading and discussion.

The Mathematics program becomes more specialized in middle school, with many students moving on to algebra and introductory concepts in geometry. The Science curriculum includes special studies such as landfills, water purity and ecology. These unique units of study demonstrate the interrelationships between different disciplines, including math, science, environmental studies, social studies and even move into writing, presentation, and speech.

High School Academic Program (Gr. 9 to Gr. 12)
