Brockton School
Q
What do you like best about attending your school?
A
The teachers really care. They know all the students and go to extraordinary lengths to support us. One teacher came to baseball games to cheer me on. Another teacher arranged time with an expert in a topic I love. Walking into Alcuin, it feels like a community, not just a school.

Q
What is the biggest benefit to your child in attending her school?
A
The personalised approach. Alcuin teachers take great care to understand our son’s interests and needs. Creativity and independent thought are encouraged and his education is not only rich and diverse, it is wonderfully unique to him. In his words, “You get to make your own choices, have your own ideas”

Q
What is the most rewarding part of your job/workplace?
A
That I have made a career out of love of creating is very rewarding! At Alcuin, I work with amazing children, aged five to seventeen, and together we muck about with clay, papier mâché, paper, paints and drawing materials. Can you imagine the fun we have? See what we create!

Q
What do you like best about attending your school?
A
Our school has an amazing academic program and community, the small and loving community that allows everyone to break out of their shell. My favourite thing about Brockton is the World Music Program. It presents me with unique opportunities to express myself musically, which has been instrumental in my growth as an individual.

Q
What is the biggest benefit to your children in attending their school?
A
My children are thriving in a dynamic and caring community, receiving a rigorous, progressive IB Education in an authentic, inclusive environment with personalized learning and small class sizes. A variety of extra-curricular programs (leadership, social action, athletics, technology, the arts...) allow my children to develop and contribute beyond the walls of the classroom.

Q
What is the most rewarding part of your job/workplace?
A
Seeing the curiosity, wonder, and joy on my students’ faces as they dive into new learning experience. I also love watching students learn, grow, and change in such a short amount of time. Their love for learning and excitement is contagious. I learn something from them every day!
