Salt Spring Centre School

Salt Spring Centre School is a small, independent school on beautiful Salt Spring Island. We are a K-7 school with small class sizes.

Our Mission, Vision and Values

Our mission is to offer a secure educational environment where a child’s inherent love of learning is celebrated. Our aim is to foster independent learners who are confident in meeting challenges, academically, emotionally and socially.

We believe that:

early schooling experiences shape our attitudes and confidence in life

education is largely an individual matter- that children should be recognized for their own capabilities and learning styles, and provided opportunities to further pursue interests

children should gain skills and develop their abilities without undue stress or competition, thereby encouraging self-confidence, independence, and responsibility for their own learning

an atmosphere of loving support, positive values and respect allows for the development of lifelong learners and confident individuals

Draw for Employees

Our teachers work in a supportive, low-stress and collaborative environment. We value teacher autonomy, and our approach to education is collaborative rather than top-down. We recognize that teachers are integral to the success of our school. We encourage teachers to follow their passions, present innovative ideas and take part in professional development to grow as educators.
