www.insideHALTON.com | OAKVILLE BEAVER | Thursday, October 20, 2016 | 32 education Advertorial Oakville Academy for the Arts offers enriched programs Voted Oakville's best preschool in the Oakville Beaver Readers' Choice Awards, and having received the Prime Minister's Award for Excellence in Education, the Oakville Academy for the Arts Preschool program celebrates students as artists, engineers, writers, scientists, thinkers and creators. Young learners are encouraged to undertake projects of study that allow for on-going investigation, in-depth study and the ability to develop skills and concepts from the entire range of curriculum components such as math, language, science, technology, art, music, and dance. Within this very special preschool, junior and senior kindergarten programs, the shift is from teaching to that of learning, with an emphasis on finding personal and meaningful ways to make curriculum areas come alive. We seek to develop critical, creative and divergent thinking, inquiry, research and problem solving. These skills will put young learners in the best possible position as they arrive upon the doorstep of future academic experience. The Oakville Academy for the Arts Kinderschool offers an arts-enriched learning environment for children 2.5 to 5 years of age. The program operates Monday to Friday from September to June, with a variety of enrolment options including half day and full day programming for preschool, junior and senior kindergarten students.
