Grades 1-5 

​

We believe in educational practices and pedagogy rooted in science, not tradition. At Magnificent Minds, our approach is anything but static—it's progressive, continually evolving to meet the diverse needs of our students. We are dedicated to supporting neurodivergent learners and any student who benefits from a more nuanced approach to learning. Our commitment to innovation means integrating the latest scientific insights and adapting our methods to ensure every student thrives.

​

Our Innovative Primary/Junior School Program combines scientifically-validated teaching approaches with principles of relationship development to create an environment where learning is engaging, accessible, and empowering. Through experiential, hands-on learning opportunities, and a focus on developing self-regulation, self-awareness, and self-advocacy, we strive to build confident, happy learners who are championed toward personal greatness.

We recognize that not all students learn the same way, and we are dedicated to individualized support throughout their academic journey.

 

While our programs align with Ontario Ministry of Education Curriculum goals, we deliver them through a holistic, interactive approach that maximizes engagement, focus, and ability to problem-solve. We excel at championing gifted and talented learners while providing differentiated instruction for those who need additional support.

​

To maximize engagement and inspire joy in learning, we integrate athletics and the arts into our programming. Movement, creativity, and self-expression are powerful tools for cognitive development, emotional regulation, and social connection. From sports and yoga to visual arts and drama, we provide diverse experiences that empower students to explore their strengths and interests while enhancing their capacity to learn and grow. In safe and trusting environment, students are encouraged to stretch themselves as they build persistence and confidence.

 

Our programming is further enriched by Adjunct Programs designed to enhance foundational skills across all domains of wellness and student success. Multi-disciplinary professionals contribute workshops and experiences tailored to the unique needs of our students, ensuring our approach remains comprehensive, affirming, and always evolving.

Whole Body, Whole Mind Approach

Though we appreciate the importance of traditional (teacher-led)  learning, we also uphold the idea that for successful learning (that lasts) it is essential to engage the body and the mind.

 

Our lessons take students into the community, to our outdoor learning spaces, and beyond the walls of their classroom. We get busy learning in a way that evokes collaboration, investigation, mutual respect and self-awareness. 

​

When lessons are designed for students to think, plan and do engagement increases and motivation follows suit!
