KGMS follows the BC Ministry of Education curriculum, while adapting and differentiating instruction to meet the needs of diverse learners. Our approach incorporates Inquiry-Based and Experiential Learning, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), and Social-Emotional Education to deliver a comprehensive and student-centred educational experience. Students receive one block of one-on-one tutoring each day from a trained therapeutic tutor.
