Our son started attending The Booker School at the beginning of his grade 4 year. Not even one semester in and his attitude towards school has done a complete 180! He is happy and engaged and shares what he is learning with us. Small classes provide opportunity for the teachers to get to know the children and provide individualised instruction as well as ample communication with families. There is a focus on personal development (both academically and socially), lots of outdoor time, art and drama, french, a realization of community responsibility, a global perspective...We can't say enough good things about Booker!
What an amazing little school. The children who attend Booker are some of the luckiest kids in the world. This is not an institution but a family, where each student's individual needs are met and everyone is encouraged and enabled to pursue their interests. If every school were like Booker, the world would be a much better place.
We sent our daughter to The Booker School because we wanted her to have a learning experience that focused on critical thinking and exploring the natural world. We've been overwhelmed with the growth, confidence and creativity we've seen in our daughter. Its much more than a school, its a community and its amazing to be a part of it.
My son began his first year at Booker School this fall. He was struggling before in both his classes and at home with confidence and academically. For the few months he has been attending the school myself and family friends have noticed a huge difference in him. He is more outgoing and has more of an interest in learning and everything around him. I am so thankful for the opportunity and can not wait to see where he goes from here.
"Release the spark; Honour the quirk; Cultivate the joy; Commit to the risk; Invite the doubt; Encourage the love; Inspire the quest; Find the beauty; Become the solution" ... These are words on the stairs at The Booker School and when I first read them I knew I had enrolled my son in the absolute best school for him. They are not just words on stairs, they actually come to life everyday on this school’s campus through skilled teachers who encourage, support, and celebrate inquiring minds. Their integrated, inquiry based curriculum makes learning tangible and tied to real world. It’s a place that truly transforms its learners ❤️ I see this everyday in my son and I am confident that long after he has graduated from Booker this transformation will continue, grow, and evolve ... Love this school & its faculty!
