Learning From a Mesocosm
Bringing the Outside Environment Into the Classroom
Bringing the Outside Environment Into the Classroom
On a bright and sunny Tuesday this week the Lower School participated in the Terry fox walk.
It is fair to say that this school year has been unusual and full of surprises.
We are very proud of our students for adapting to virtual learning with such a positive energy!
On the last day of school, our Lower School teachers and Principal surprised students with a special video to wish them a happy summer. Take a look here.
Children are bombarded with images from the news and social media about the impact the Coronavirus has been having on the world. It is absolutely understandable if children are feeling anxious, scared and confused.
Our students are growing up in a consistently developing digital society and here at CSM we believe that educating both Lower and Upper school students to be responsible digital citizens is extremely important.
As we come to the end of the second week of school closures, CSM’s priority remains to be the safety and continued education of our students.
This week our Pre-K class learnt about what it means to be part of a community and who the people are in our neighbourhood.
Our Grade 4 and 5 classes are taking part in the “Dis moi dix mots" contest for the third year in a row.
Once again we had an amazing turnout for our Annual Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser held on Friday February 14th.
At CSM we believe in instilling civic responsibility in our students from the very start of their education to help them grow up to be conscientious members of the community. This month our lower school has been busy learning about recycling and how to be more eco-friendly.
On February 6th, we had a great turn-out for Ms. Rizzi’s talk with CSM parents regarding the important link between home and school. She provided tools for parents to help their children to excel in school as well as to set them on the right track to becoming responsible and accountable young adults.
Exciting News!
After just one year from obtaining the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (DP) accreditation, we are pleased to announce that the Canadian School of Milan is now also officially authorised to offer the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP).
We are delighted to formally offer this 5-year programme for our Grades 6 to 10 students, vitally important in helping children develop all the required skills to become a successful human being and global citizen, as well as to help them prepare for their continued studies in the Diploma Programme at CSM.
