Kanata Academy offers  programs designed to challenge, yet not overwhelm, each student. Recognizing each student's needs is a primary goal of the school.

Mathematics

At the kindergarten level, math concepts are developed through calendar activities,  manipulatives and games. At the grade level, students work at their own pace. They are given the opportunity to reach ahead and strive towards their full potential.

Language Arts

A combination of techniques is used to teach the children to read, allowing them to advance individually and meet specific needs. The student is exposed to a wide variety of reading materials including poetry, choral reading, fiction and non-fiction.  As the child progresses, deeper studies of the reading materials are pursued. Discussion, oral expression, sequencing and auditory listening are also main components of the curriculum.

Arts, Drama and Music

With the aid of a variety of musical instruments, along with art and drama activities, each child is encouraged to develop self-expression and creativity in group situations. This also provides an opportunity to develop an appreciation for the arts. Guest speakers and excursions are an integral part of the program.
