Global Perspectives
Rockrimmon students gain real-world knowledge and skills through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme. They begin to understand their role in our global community as they learn languages, collaborate on cultural programs, research world issues and respect differences.
Tailored Teaching
No one-size-fits-all here. Rockrimmon teachers bring personal and professional passion to the classroom through developing their own curriculum. Each school year, teachers pitch their programming ideas, which are evaluated for adjustments throughout the year and fine tuned for individual learning styles.
Inquiry Based Instruction
Rockrimmon teachers bring personal and professional passion to the classroom through the creation of their own grade level IB Planners. These planners are hands-on, standards-based and support student inquiry. Teachers work collaboratively with the IB coordinator to develop planners that are trans-disciplinary and engaging for all students.
Education with Heart
Rockrimmon is a Capturing Kids' Hearts school dedicated to building strong relationships and a positive school community. Each day, teachers personally greet students at the door, and classes begin with a morning meeting focused on relationship building and social-emotional learning. Students also collaborate with their teachers to create Essential Agreements that establish shared expectations for behavior and foster a safe, supportive classroom environment.
Academics in Action
Some of the best learning takes place when kids leave their desks. At Rockrimmon, students build confidence, motivation and global awareness through interactive programs like Junior United Nations, World Tour Day and clubs that foster skills in science, the arts, technology and leadership.
