The big picture on The Clover School
We wrote a book reviewing the school
The 50-page review of The Clover School is part of our series of in-depth accounts of Canada's leading private schools. It provides a unique and objective perspective on the school's academics, programs, culture, and community.
"The Clover School's innovative curriculum combines Montessori essentials with heart-centred learning practices designed to nurture the mind, heart, health, and soul of each child. Children learn at their own pace, according to their own interests, developing skills and habits to help them thrive. This approach inspires and promotes intellectual curiosity, creativity, and individual growth through the integration of academics, arts, athletics, outdoor education, community service, and leadership.
