School Philosophy

With a focus on high-impact literacy and numeracy practices, our inclusive learning community challenges students at their independent levels. We believe that staff, families and partners work alongside students to support them in reaching their highest academic and personal potentials. Everyone at Horse Hill is a learner and a leader, making their learning journey together. Student confidence and citizenship is facilitated through an emphasis on global citizenship, conflict resolution and self-regulation. We offer regular programming from Kindergarten to Grade 6, with Full-day Kindergarten and French as a second language in Division II. We will be offering Cogito programming from Kindergarten to Grade 6 for the 2021-22 school year.

We believe:

• In challenging students to develop their skills, attitudes, and knowledge to foster global citizenship and successful transition between grades and beyond
• In an environment of partnership, trust, and collaboration with various partners to enhance our community’s academic engagement and citizenry
• In supporting students, in an inclusive setting, through high-quality learning opportunities and real-life student engagement
