Aspengrove School challenges and inspires its community to act with purpose as compassionate, knowledgeable, and principled global citizens. Our values are Curiosity, Citizenship, Courage, Creativity, and Compassion. Our school’s name comes from the aspen tree, whose saplings grow apart from the parent tree while still receiving important nourishment through its extensive root structure. Like the aspen, we are committed to providing our children with the roots to thrive through a strong, nurturing environment. Supporting them in their growth and development, we aim to provide them with community awareness, respect for their environment and other people, and a lifelong love of learning. And, like the aspen, we are committed to taking this journey together as a community.
Our 40-acre campus offers the perfect setting for imaginative play, outdoor adventures, and fun recreational activities. Surrounded by lush forests, Aspengrove School invites students to connect with nature and one another. Students can participate in our Outdoor Education program, developing a wide range of outdoor skills as well as leadership, teamwork, and goal-setting skills, or join a co-curricular, such as track and field or soccer.
A curriculum and diploma, the International Baccalaureate was developed in the 1960s by educators from around the globe and encourages a spirit of inquiry. Rather than ask students to memorize facts, the IB programmes empower them to shape their knowledge by asking “why” and “how.” The curriculum meets and even exceeds provincial standards, equipping students with the knowledge and skills to thrive and preparing them for the challenges of university life.
