The curriculum of the Living and Learning school reflects ecological and social principles and practices in keeping with the mission of the Daajing Giids Youth Education Society. Small, multi-age classes and individual curriculum adaptations ensure that children experience academic success.
While academic skills are of high priority at the Living and Learning School we believe it is equally our responsibility to teach life skills and to nurture attitudes of respect, self-esteem and values that will ensure the students live positive and productive lives as they grow older.
The curriculum of Living and Learning school meets the BC Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines and is approved by the Ministry. The specifics of the curriculum are developed by the teaching staff in consultation with the parents and students. Within the broader curriculum, student learning is individualized to the interests, learning styles and skill levels of each student.
The Independent School Act requires our school to have BC certified teachers.
Classroom sessions are from 8:45 am to 3:15 pm, Monday to Thursday with additional parent-led School Fridays about once per month.
