Academics

Our Programs

Education for every stage.

At Alexandria, we guide students from their first days in nursery through to university preparation. Rigorous academics, hands-on learning, and real-world skills come together to shape well-rounded graduates ready for what's next.

Keeping your little ones safe

Creche provides a secure, nurturing environment where infants and toddlers grow. Trained caregivers maintain low child-to-adult ratios, ensuring genuine individual attention. Safe spaces allow exploration while forming the secure attachments that become the foundation for all future learning.

Play is how they learn best

We center on sensory rich activities: textured materials to touch, sounds to discover, safe spaces to move. Caregivers engage children with language all day, narrating activities and responding to early communication. We track developmental milestones and adjust experiences to match each child's growth.

Partners in your child's care

Parents are essential partners in their child's care. You receive daily updates about activities, meals, rest, and special moments. Our caregivers learn your child's unique cues and personality, ensuring smooth transitions between home and school.

Materials built for small hands

Our Montessori classrooms feature carefully crafted learning materials where each tool focuses on a single concept. Children manipulate objects with their hands, building concrete understanding before moving to abstract thinking. This tactile approach turns every activity into an opportunity for genuine comprehension.

Following their natural curiosity

Young learners select activities based on their interests and developmental readiness during extended, uninterrupted work periods. Teachers observe and guide rather than direct, allowing each child to work at their own pace. This approach builds intrinsic motivation and deep concentration.

Younger and older students learn together

Three year age groupings create natural mentorship opportunities where younger children learn by observing older peers. Older students reinforce their own knowledge by helping younger classmates with activities. This dynamic mirrors real world interactions and develops both confidence and empathy.

Learning moves at each child's pace

Every student follows an individualized learning plan designed around their unique developmental stage and interests. Teachers present individual lessons, then children work independently to master concepts before moving forward. This personalized approach ensures genuine understanding rather than surface level completion.

From touchable objects to abstract ideas

Students begin with physical materials they can see and manipulate, building foundational understanding of mathematical and linguistic concepts. As mastery develops, they gradually transition to more abstract thinking and problem solving. This progression creates lasting comprehension rooted in concrete experience.

Building confidence with self correction

Materials and activities include built in feedback mechanisms, allowing children to identify and fix their own mistakes without teacher intervention. This cultivates critical thinking, resilience, and a growth mindset. Students learn to view errors as natural steps in the learning process rather than failures.

Solving problems the way professionals do

Our STEM program integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics rather than teaching them as separate subjects. Students tackle real world challenges using the engineering design process, moving from initial research to prototyping to testing and refinement. This approach mirrors how professionals work and develops transferable problem solving skills.

Finding your creative voice

Students explore both liberal arts and creative disciplines. In humanities courses like government, economics, and commerce, they analyze complex systems and debate ideas. In visual arts, music, and drama, they develop technical skills while expressing their unique perspectives. Both paths teach critical thinking, whether students are evaluating economic policies or critiquing their own artwork.

Ready for university and what comes next

Every course prioritizes understanding over memorization. Rigorous academics combine with collaborative projects and independent research. Students defend their ideas, consider multiple perspectives, and connect concepts between subjects. By graduation, they have the intellectual stamina and critical thinking needed for higher education.

Solid Ground

A foundation built to last.

Learning that grows with them.
We believe the best learning happens when students feel safe to ask bold questions, take intellectual risks, and fail forward. Here, curiosity drives everything. Every classroom becomes a space where young minds learn not just what to think, but how to think, question, and rebuild their understanding from the ground up.

Deep thinking, deeper understanding. Alexandria is where students transition from learning facts to analyzing ideas. Our curriculum challenges them to defend their reasoning, consider multiple perspectives, and connect concepts across subjects. Students develop the intellectual confidence to tackle complex problems with creativity and logic.

Mastery takes time and practice. We build essential skills in mathematics, literacy, science, and humanities with a spiral curriculum that revisits key concepts with increasing depth each year. Students don't just move forward; they truly own the material. By eighth grade, they possess the academic stamina and foundational knowledge needed for high school success.

Every learner has a unique path. Our instructors recognize that students develop at different paces, so we differentiate instruction to meet them exactly where they are. Whether a child needs additional support or is ready for enrichment, we adjust the challenge level while maintaining high expectations. Progress, not perfection, is what we celebrate.

Learning happens best together. Collaboration is woven into our school experience, from partner projects to group problem-solving sessions. Students learn to communicate their ideas clearly, listen actively, and build on each other's thinking. These social-academic skills prepare them for college seminars, workplace teams, and community leadership.

Ideas come alive in application. We connect classroom learning to the world beyond our walls with interdisciplinary projects, guest speakers, field experiences, and community partnerships. When students see how algebra relates to architecture or how literature reflects history, their engagement soars and understanding deepens.

Confidence grows from small victories. These transitional years can feel overwhelming, so we structure learning to provide regular opportunities for success. Each mastered concept and completed project builds self-assurance. Students discover their strengths, learn to persevere, and develop the belief that they can achieve difficult things.

STEM Education

Science that sparks curiosity.

How We Use Canvas LMS.

Canvas is our cloud-based learning management system, a digital hub where coursework, communication, and collaboration come together. We use Canvas to extend learning beyond school hours, giving students 24/7 access to assignments, resources, and feedback. Teachers organize course materials into structured modules, post announcements, and provide personalized feedback through SpeedGrader.

Parents stay informed with real-time visibility into their child's progress, upcoming assignments, and teacher communications. Students can access video lessons, submit work digitally, participate in discussion boards, and track their own academic growth, all from one centralized platform. Since implementing Canvas, we've seen improved parent engagement, more consistent assignment completion, and better communication between teachers and families.

23% increase in parent engagement since Canvas implementation.
