Primary Division

JK, SK, Grades 1 & 2

“The primary teachers did more than teach my children math and reading — they fostered an inclusive community where my kids gained confidence and learned about the world around them. The primary program prepares students to be empathetic, academically curious and mindful.”

Guided by the 4 Frames of play-based learning, inspired by Reggio Emilia

  • Belonging and Contributing

  • Problem Solving and Innovation

  • Demonstrating Literacy and Mathematics Behaviours

  • Self-regulation and Wellbeing

It all begins with an idea. All children are given the opportunity to grow in relation to others and with their surrounding environment.

“Our child has found a love of learning at PRA.  Seeing him grow into a dedicated and enthusiastic reader in Grade 2 has been thrilling.  His joy for learning extends beyond the classroom – from proudly participating in the school play to exploring new interests in after-school clubs. Small class sizes and the ability to form meaningful friendships have been key factors in setting the groundwork for personal growth and academic success.”
