> Junior School

Children get a head start at SJR by being exposed to the latest teaching methods for the crucial learning years that begin in Kindergarten.

Emerging brain research confirms that a breathtaking capacity for learning exists in very young children, and as their brains develop, the role of the teacher is fundamental to a child’s success in later years.

We understand the power of these young minds and work to cultivate each student to his or her fullest potential in a nurturing, safe, fun environment.

Beliefs

  • All people have worth and are deserving of respect.
  • The pursuit of excellence is a habit worth the cost.

  • A structured, safe environment promotes confidence, risk-taking and learning.
  • Accountability improves performance.
  • Change is inevitable and should be embraced while continually employing best practice.
  • SJR’s history and traditions must be acknowledged and respected.
