At Evergreen, children build strong academic foundations, bring ideas to life and learn to take responsibility. Our Kindergarten to Grade 8 community in Vaughan combines focused teaching, practical projects and room for growing independence, with kindness at the heart of school life.
You see it in the questions they ask, the ideas they dream up, and the things they create when they have room to explore.
You want them to come home with stories to tell: something they made, a challenge they worked through, a moment they felt proud.
At Evergreen, we give children meaningful work, real responsibility, and people who take the time to know them. They have room to discover their strengths and the support to keep growing when things get hard.
Every part of the day gives children something to practise: a skill, a good habit, a new idea or a way to contribute.
Reading, writing and mathematics receive focused attention. Clear teaching, purposeful practice and individual guidance help children strengthen essential skills and address gaps as their work becomes more demanding.
Children design, build, experiment and solve problems. They learn to plan their work, use knowledge, test an idea and make thoughtful improvements.
Students set goals, care for shared spaces and follow through on commitments. As their readiness grows, they have opportunities to take greater ownership and contribute in meaningful ways.
Feedback and reflection help children recognise what they understand, where they need practice and what to try next. Progress becomes something they can explain and build on.
Our core values
Four animals. Four values. Through stories we return to as a community, children learn to take ownership, find their direction, support others, and lead through their actions.
The beaver
Build a strong foundation. The beaver reminds us to take initiative, establish healthy boundaries, and care for what is ours to look after.
What can I take responsibility for?
The starfish
Find your North Star. The starfish reminds us to stay curious, discover what matters to us, and build the skills to move towards it.
What is my next step towards growth?
The goose
Help your whole flock thrive. The goose reminds us to encourage one another, build positive friendships, and support our team.
Who could use my encouragement today?
The turtle
Let your actions inspire. The turtle reminds us that our attitude, behaviour, and everyday choices can set a positive example for others.
What example am I setting?
Ideas become experience
Our Real Estate unit brings together floor plans, insulation and plumbing. Students investigate practical questions and work through hands-on challenges that connect design, science and everyday life.
