The big picture on Monarch Academy

We summarized the school ourselves

Monarch Academy is a comprehensive educational institution committed to nurturing academic excellence, artistic expression, and environmental stewardship. The Academy caters to children aged 3 to 13 and embraces a holistic approach to education, combining core academic subjects with creative and physical programs. The curriculum covers Mathematics, English, Creative Writing, French, Science, Social Studies, World Geography, History, and Global Issues, guided by the principles of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program. Monarch Academy places a strong emphasis on individual self-expression, offering programs in theatre, music, and art to help students explore their creativity. Their physical education program involves daily physical activity, based on an understanding of human anatomy, while the nutrition program educates students on balanced diets and the importance of hydration. Unique to Monarch Academy is the Real Specimen Program, which uses taxidermy, skulls, fossils, and ancient artefacts to enrich the learning experience in science and history classes. In addition, the Animal Rescue Program allows students to care for a variety of animals, fostering empathy and responsibility. The school’s vision is to create a harmonious educational community where knowledge, artistic expression, and nature come together to prepare students to face global challenges with wisdom and empathy.
