Woodbine Starters School is a Play Group to Grade 8 School. It is the purpose of education to open the windows of the mind and that is what we try to accomplish each day at Woodbine Starters. Education helps students gain the knowledge and skills so that they become capable of functioning well in society. Several basic principles underlie our educational philosophy. Firstly, we believe that each child is unique. Secondly, there is individual potential and excellence in every child. Thirdly, children are skilled in how to think critically and logically about the world around them in order to make informed and accurate decisions. Finally, the social and emotional atmosphere of the classroom is such that each child's contribution is valued. We encourage our children to excel in every sphere of life, be it studies or sports. At Woodbine Starter the focus is on the overall growth and development of your child.

The approach to learning is remarkably simple. Put talented and diverse young people together with skilled and dedicated adults, with support from engaged and committed families and you create extraordinary results that speak for themselves. As a professional learning community, we are committed to working untiringly to provide challenging educational opportunities to your children each day.

During the course of the year, it is my hope that we will work together to provide the students of Woodbine Starters School the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world-class citizens ready to master the challenges of the 21^st Century. As Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors-staff, students, and parents is excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun and nurturing manner. Woodbine Starters School is a special place to learn and we welcome you to visit the school and become part of our learning community.
