Junior Primary: First Steps Toward a Bright Future

Our Junior Primary program offers a warm, personalized foundation for our youngest learners. Grounded in evidence-based, inquiry-driven learning, it encourages curiosity, exploration, and joyful discovery.
In a rich and responsive environment, children investigate topics that matter to them—posing questions, sharing ideas, and engaging in open-ended experiences that nurture creativity, confidence, and critical thinking.

Your child will be supported by a dedicated team of educators, including Early Childhood specialists and teachers in French, Music, and Physical Education, who enrich each day with meaningful and engaging experiences.

Designed with intention, our curriculum supports both academic readiness and social-emotional growth, ensuring a smooth transition into Senior Primary and beyond. At Grammar, learning begins with curiosity, play, and a deep respect for the unique potential of every child.

Located near parks, museums, and natural spaces, our program makes full use of the local community. Whether discovering salamanders in Point Pleasant Park or exploring Halifax’s cultural spaces, children are immersed in real-world learning that sparks wonder and connection.

Specialist Subjects

Junior Primary students benefit from specialist instruction in French, Music, and Physical Education, enriching their day with a variety of experiences that support the whole child.

STEM
