In fact, there is still plenty of time for students to improve their grades. "In terms of the school year, April is definitely a make it or break it month," says Dr. Nick Whitehead, CEO and founder of Oxford Learning. "Even though there is not a lot of time left, this time, if used wisely, can help even the most troubled student turn things around." With extra help from professional tutors, students can not only improve their grades in specific subjects such as math, reading, or English, but they also can develop stronger study, organization, thinking skills and homework habits. ~N fter e & A ram Befor l Prog o Scho FFE OW O RING ~ Open House Saturday, April 24, 2010 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Two Locations in Oakville Oakville Primary Campus (Age 3 - Grade 1) Our Primary campus provides a caring, stimulating and welcoming Montessori program for children in their formative years (3 - 6 years old) Clanmore Montessori School Preparing children for life through education 18 months - 12 years CALL US TO ARRANGE AN OBSERVATION OF OUR CLASSES Primary Campus 2045 Sixth Line Facilities and programs include: · Large bright classrooms · Morning, afternoon and full day programs · French and music taught by specialists · Before and after school care (7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m.) · Large well-equipped playground · Co-educational learning environment 905-338-3528 jsnyder@rotherglen.com Oakville Elementary Campus (Grade 1 - 8) Facilities and programs include: · Large bright classrooms · Maximum class size of 18 · French, music, art and computers taught by specialists · Varsity and intramural sports teams · Library with full-time librarian · Extracurricular clubs including athletics and choir · Full-size gymnasium · Dedicated music, art, computer and science rooms · Before and after school care (7:30 a.m.-6:00 p.m.) · Co-educational learning environment : Academic Excellence with Enriched Programming : Fully Trained, Experienced Certified Staff : Fully Equipped Montessori Environments : Parent Community Involvement : Bright, Sunny Classrooms : Beautiful Historic Building Ford Drive Elementary Campus 2050 Neyagawa Blvd. Winston Churchill Blvd. Armiger Lane 905-849-1897 tdupreez@rotherglen.com Contact us for more information 2463 Lakeshore Road East 905-842-2200 ext. 300 Please contact us for a personal tour or to learn more about Rotherglen School www.rotherglen.com
