Advocating self-responsibility in an emotionally and physically safe and supportive environment, the Salt Spring Centre School is a unique place for children to learn.
Located on the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga property, the school fosters caring, peacekeeping, and problem-solving skills, and the understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures.
Multi-graded and small-sized classes, plus a weekly “Choices” program for grade-school students, help the school meet individual learning styles, provide rich, experiential and hands-on learning experiences, and let children be active participants in their own education process.
The school encourages parent involvement and the nurturing of a warm extended family. Activities also encompass the wider community through theatre productions, annual festivals and special events.
“We are a non-denominational Independent School with over 25 years experience serving island families. Located on 70 acres of meadow, garden and forestland in the centre of Salt Spring, our Kindergarten to Grade 6 school offers a wonderful educational opportunity. Being a parent myself, I have witnessed my three children blossom and thrive at our school and I cherish the rich learning environment created by dedicated teachers and committed parents.
As a B.C. certified and inspected school with talented teachers, we have an excellent record of addressing the intellectual, emotional, and social needs of individual students. With a maximum of 15 students in each class (12 in Kindergarten), plus a number of support staff, children are able to get the attention they need to develop their full potential.”
