Asking the Why

August 21st, 2015

Our founding story and the importance of teaching the whole child.

We are in need of a different style of education because our children are living in a world of immense changes and growing complexities.  Founder and Principal Sandra Walton was brave enough to ask: "What kind of education do our children need to flourish in this world?".  She shares her personal journey with education, the key components of every good teacher, and why ArtsCalibre Academy strives to be different.

The key to facilitating education is connecting to each student.  If we want our children to become economically independent, to live fulfilling, happy lives and be productive citizens, we need a system that helps them understand the world around them, but also to understand what is inside of them.
