Welcome to the beginning of another exciting year of learning, community, and personal growth at Al Ƶ. Along with the rest of the ASC staff, I am very much looking forward to a happy, energetic, and positive year.
Please know that your children’s education is my utmost priority and I will do everything possible, as the Co-Founder and Principal of the Ƶ, to ensure all of our 926 students have a dynamic and memorable learning experience. Towards that end, I invite your active participation, collaboration, and feedback throughout the year. We are all in this together – students, parents, teachers and staff.
The theme for the 2019 school year is “Aim for Excellence” – a phrase that summarizes our highest intention to give it our very best, on every level.
In addition to everything else the teachers and staff of Al Ƶ are doing to spark the flame of knowledge, we are, this year, paying special attention to the following:
- Improving our teaching and learning environment;
- Establishing a teacher coaching model;
- Establishing a Behaviour Support program (a different kind of approach of working with students to help them achieve their goals and co-create a positive learning environment.
For the first time in Al Ƶ’s history, we are starting 2019 with less students than the previous year. This is by design – a strategic shift to ensure a higher quality education experience for everyone. One thing we’ve learned over the years is that more is not always better.
All the Best!
