Our libraries are engaging learning environments designed to support the curriculum at all levels and to promote a love of reading. They are staffed by specialists implementing grade-appropriate information literacy and research skills curricula. Students have access to a wide range of digital resources to support student research and literacy.

Classrooms

The typical Acorn classroom is the place where bright, inquisitive learners flourish in a richly appointed environment with state-of-the-art equipment.

To enter one of these spaces is to sense the belief, to be inspired, and to imagine learners being stimulated, challenged, encouraged and ultimately to succeed.

Space to make, think, learn and create!

Makerspaces are an important part of 21st-century education. Makerspaces allow students to focus on an idea or problem. Express themselves and collaborate. Makerspaces are an excellent way for students to learn how to share their ideas and get feedback as well as push their thinking. The use of the spaces is integrated into the curriculum but also offers stand-alone lessons to focus on particular skills. Students have the opportunity to work with technology like 3D printers, microprocessors and robots as well as physical making with cardboard, paper, sewing machines, wood and other construction materials.
