Selecting the best school to meet the needs of your child and family is one of the most important decisions you will make. My experience as both an educator and a parent is that visiting the school and taking a tour during the school day is the best way to determine if your child, your family, and the school are a perfect fit for one another. This gives you an opportunity to see the classrooms and the interactions between students and their peers, as well as students and teachers.

At Colin Macdonald Community School, we believe children need confidence in themselves as learners, tools so they can find the answers to their questions themselves, preparation for lifelong learning, and, in general, a learner-centred approach rather than one that is curriculum-driven. It is being increasingly recognized that students learn better when they have real responsibility for their own education. At Colin Macdonald Community School, we allow that to happen.

As you explore our website, you will gain a greater insight into what makes Colin Macdonald Community School such a wonderful place. As Dr Maria Montessori said, “We do not prepare the child for school but for life.”
