Our philosophy of educating children is based on the learning theories of Jean Piaget. He demonstrated that children learn best when they are experiencing the world around them. Canterbury is committed to providing children with the tools and guidance they need to learn. We view teachers, children and facilities as a partnership in helping the whole child develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically.
