Altiora is designed around the experience of childhood: beautiful spaces, adults who know each child well, and a partnership with families that extends beyond the school gate.
Walk through our gate and the building begins to tell you what we believe. Rooms are quiet enough for the children’s work to remain the colour. Each space has one restrained visual story and one Chalk wall waiting for the children.
Your child will be known here. Not managed. Not measured only by what can be counted. Known: in their fascinations, small discoveries, quiet leaps and need for either a hand or room.
We keep communication open. You will always know how to reach us, and you will never need to wait for a problem before speaking with us.
Every child begins the day being seen.
Everything has a place and a purpose.
For wonder to interrupt
Children participate in caring for themselves, others and their environment.
Alongside the open door stands the fixed points of the year: a written observation of your child each term, a termly parent-teacher conference with their guide, and parent mornings when you are invited to sit in the classroom and watch the work unfold.
A thoughtful written observation of your child’s development.
Dedicated time to understand progress, interests and emerging needs.
Opportunities to enter the classroom and quietly observe the work.
Beyond scores, milestones and labels.
Before small questions become large ones.
Without lowering our expectations of what children can become.
Because education works best when adults around a child understand one another.
Walk through our prepared environments, meet our guides and experience the rhythm of an Altiora day.
