Saint David School

• An interactive learning space: where students are organized in age groups. The schedule is organized so that students can move between inside and outside spaces at different times during the day. In this way, SDS provides a balance of well-structured classes with the freedom to explore the student’s potential, promote curiosity, creativity and critical-thinking activities.

​

• Positive reinforcement strategies: in a well-structured environment actively engaging the school community through special events and class interventions throughout the year to promote traditional values, emotional and spiritual well-being, character building, self-management, individual responsibility and empathy.  Our goal is to prepare our students, according to their individual needs, during each level of Preschool, Primary, Junior High and High School, to become self-regulating and competent individuals reinforcing important life-skills.

​

• Digital literacy is an important part of the modern world. Technology is integrated into student learning, although screen time is limited, especially for Pre-school and Primary school students.  Students are encouraged in Junior High and High School to engage in projects through our STEM Program (Science, technology, engineering and mathematics).  At SDS we consider a hybrid approach, the most healthy and pro-active manner for students learning.  Students are engaged in active learning within their classroom, and in the many learning centers within the school, such as the library, science lab, music room, and outdoor sports areas. 

​

• On-line Learning Options: Digital learning includes instruction in the technology lab, virtual labs, instruction in science and geography and the use of a variety of digital learning sites within the classroom and at home. Students who miss class for any reason can follow-up on their work via the on-line platform.
