School Notes Overview: |
All children come to school excited about learning. At Aurora, we nurture this enthusiasm and energy by creating a school experience that closely matches the natural learning process and is aligned with current educational research. Our experience proves when school is challenging, developmentally appropriate and craetive, children strengthen their foundation to remain self-motivated, independent learners throughout life. Academic excellence is fostered in a spirited atmosphere of invention, curiosity and collaboration. We believe learning is an active, social, integrated process requiring each learner to construct knowledge of the world in a setting that fosters risk taking, individual challenge and cooperative exploration. Perseverance, professionalism and high standards are the norm in every aspect of our school experience. ...read more
