Who We Are
Welcome to The Booker School, an independent, non-profit, non-denominational, Pre-Primary to Grade 8 school in Port Williams, Nova Scotia.
Founded in 2012, we embrace the values of the International Baccalaureate, with a mission to gain full accreditation from the IB PYP (Primary Years Programme) for students aged 3-14.
Our Vision
The Booker School is a learning community connected to its natural environment, where children’s diverse and individual abilities are nurtured, empowered and challenged. Our students experience joyful learning, engage as global citizens and take action in their local communities.
Educational Program
Our Educational Program is based on four pillars:
-
Academics
-
Well-Being
-
Community
-
Service & Action
A Community
Here at The Booker School, we value our community as a key part of the experience. We want families to be an active part of their child's education. We also promote multi-age opportunities through our weekly schedule.
Child Centred
We see each student at the school as an individual. We want every child to be supported, challenged, and inspired. We have great standards that we expect at each Grade Level, but also understand that students may come to us working towards or beyond those standards.
Communicating
For Our Community
We believe that education is a three-way partnership between the school, the parent, and most importantly, the child. For day-to-day communication, we use the platform Toddle so that parents can engage with their child's learning. For wider communication, we publish frequent newsletters and blog articles on the link below.
