Sherwood Heights School rests solidly on its tradition of academically successful programs, which are set to high standards and aim to take students to the next level. Not only are our students enveloped in a rich comprehensive curriculum, but are nurtured, supported and motivated by passionate and qualified teachers and staff who always deliver a little extra.

Forest Grove continues to surpass the benchmark of greatness within the childcare field, while remaining traditionally devoted to the importance of academics. However, it is our non-traditional approach that continues to produce outstanding results time and time again. At Forest Grove, we go beyond the books, turning interest into education through hands-on projects, allowing children to learn through the use of all five senses, and then recognizing the many ways in which they ask their questions, express their ideas, and draw their own conclusions. Forest Grove has always believed that the hidden secret to successful learning is to take the time to listen. By documenting the interests of the students, and using that interest as a platform to teach, we are guaranteed to engage our students in the learning process. Science, Drama and Art are explored in curriculum-focused Studios that incorporate the students' interests and creativity with academic goals, including math, literacy, and science. A single interest is then carried out through all academic components in order to make learning appealing. In doing so, the children are responsible to ultimately choose their lesson plans as teachers develop strategies to implement their choices through careful planning and collaborations. The unspoken third teacher in the room is that of the environment. Derived from the Reggio Emilia approach to learning, the classroom is designed to inspire and foster the journey of learning through independence and choice. By believing in the importance of the classrooms, no area is overlooked. From impeccable book selection, to child-made décor, to hands-on learning opportunities being available at every area, this 'third teacher' validates your child's abilities to choose. We make sure that our environment is the third teacher, engaging, caring, aesthetically pleasing and always evolving to meet the needs and interests of our students. Beautiful décor, fascinating artifacts and frequent toy rotation facilitate opportunity for learning, inspiration and exploration. Part of this exploration is inviting what is outdoors into the school itself, so you will always find natural materials (wood, glass and metal) in our classrooms, both for display and discovery.
