Our Additional Programs
10 Programs. Complete Development. Unlimited Growth.
Our enrichment programs support your child's development across five key areas through our integrated approach to early childhood education.
The Newstead Program
Four pillars shape every experience at Newstead Academy Markham.
IB-Inspired Inquiry
We encourage and enable our students to ask questions, think critically, investigate meaningful ideas, and become active participants in their own learning.
Reggio Emilia Child-Led Learning
We see every child as capable, competent, and full of potential. We follow their interests, ideas, and voices to shape meaningful learning experiences, while our thoughtfully designed environments inspire exploration, creativity, and collaboration.
Leadership Development
We believe every student has the capacity to lead and develop their sense of strength, determination, and maturity. Through leadership-centric opportunities, our students develop confidence, resilience, and independence as they build their own path toward a future of excellence.
Academic Readiness
We build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, communication, and critical thinking while nurturing the social, emotional, physical, and creative growth of every child.
