Full Year Schooling at Scholars' Hall
for JK, SK, Grade 1 and Grade 2

and as of September 2010
Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6
also have the Full Year schooling option

The traditional school year was first implemented to allow the school children to work on the farm during the growing months. These children of 150 years ago would be busy from sun-up to sun-down with chores around the farm.

No longer is such a school year needed. With 10 weeks, off school, every July and August parents must plan and schedule their children's time in camps and other activities. These same children need a number of weeks upon returning to school for review and to re-establish previously learned skills.

At the our PHD level (JK & SK), Grades 1 and 2 and now for Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6, Scholars' Hall has, once again taken leadership in the educational field, introduced a school year which allows parents a great deal of flexibility.

It is a combination of the traditional school year (September to June) plus the option to have children continue learning, at Scholars', all of July and August. This is a huge increase in a child's instructional time each year.

This full-year schooling opyion allows every family to make their own decision regarding attendance in July and/or August as best suits their own plans. Some parents may keep their child at home for the summer; some parents may take their children on an extended visit to family and relatives in their home country for the summer; while some parents must continue work and will want their child to continue in the excellent learning enviornment at Scholars' knowing that they have the fexibility to take their family vacation when ever is best suted for them.

The educational advantage is enormous and allows each child to progress well beyond any level they would be achieving in the publicly funded system.

The parent's advantage is equally as great. Parents need not struggle to arrange activities, camps and sitters for the summer. The whole year remains the same. There is no distruption to the family's daily routines.

A century ago, parents told educators that their children would not be in school because they were needed at home. Today, parents, are telling the educators that there is no longer any reason why children should be at home and not be in school for 12 months instead of only eight and a half months a year. Now more than ever, our children need better than a century old education. Without an education equal to the children of China, Japan, Korea and many other countries, our children will be hard pressed to compete on a global basis.

Scholars' Hall is listening to today's parents
and educating children for tomorrow's reality.

where bright kids become great students

and everyday successes become a life-time of achievement
