ELEMENTARY
At Deer Lake School we are passionate about children! Our commitment to child-centred education leads us to adapt and change our educational offerings as society demands.
We use the inquiry-based model for learning in our classrooms K-12. Our teachers strive to provide individualized learning in every grade.
We believe that children flourish when they spend time outdoors in the fresh air. Beginning in kindergarten and right through to Grade 12 we spend a lot of time outside, learning about life through nature, gardening and various outdoor pursuits.
We have adopted the STEAM approach to science, technology, engineering, art, and math which foster critical thinking, problem solving and creativity.
Our school offers a wide variety of after school co-curricular activities for every grade, including sports (gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, soccer, track and field, tennis and badminton), and various clubs including math, chess, robotics, Model UN, Pathfinders, yearbook, gymnastics and contemporary worship band (SWAT).
