OVERVIEW

Welcome to Queen Margaret's School. As the Deputy Head in charge of the Junior School, it is both my good fortune and honour to work with a dedicated and inspiring teaching staff that offers a host of exciting and sound learning opportunities to our elementary students. The School offers a program of enriched curricula with specialist teachers at all grade levels, extensive extra curricular opportunities, a character-building ethos of service, opportunities for self-discovery and expression in the Fine Arts, an equestrian centre ranked as the best in Canada, and a beautiful campus on 28 park-like acres. We are very proud of the variety and scope of the programs at Queen Margaret's Junior School.

EDUCATION PROGRAMS

All curricular programs aim to develop a desire in students to reach their fullest capability in a variety of subjects. The School encourages each student to set high standards. We believe that as self-confidence and self-discipline evolve, students gradually realize and attain their goals.

The School fosters an environment where students strive to achieve their best at all times. Interesting and challenging programs will be offered to all students, but patience, understanding, and support are also available to those students who need extra time to help build their confidence, self-esteem, and aptitude.
