艾薇指南针: Preparing Girls to Navigate Life with Confidence

克罗夫顿之家的招牌课程促进个人成长, leadership and engaged 公民身份 through real-life experiences inside and outside the classroom

我们独特的常春藤指南针计划, 从幼稚园初级到12年级, goes beyond the BC curriculum by integrating enriched learning opportunities that broaden girls’ horizons and deepen their understanding of the world and their role within it. 艾薇指南针 fosters curiosity and encourages girls to ask big questions and take purposeful action.

All aspects of 艾薇指南针 are thoughtfully integrated into the curriculum across the whole school, putting girls at the centre of their learning by giving them the time, support and opportunities to discover their strengths and to become socially and environmentally responsible leaders. 通过常春藤罗盘, our girls get involved in the community outside of 克罗夫顿学校 at an early age so when they graduate, 他们已经做好了改变世界的准备.

Opening girls up to new perspectives of themselves and their world

从低年级开始, we connect our curriculum to impactful life lessons for our youngest learners with hands-on, 适龄的活动.

From learning in the garden in Junior Kindergarten to researching a global issue such as plastics in the ocean or homelessness for their Grade 7 Impact Project, 艾薇指南针 helps girls 建立联系 between what they are learning in the classroom and activities that develop a sense of agency.

Outdoor education is a hallmark of the 艾薇指南针 experience and from Grade 3, girls participate in fun and formative overnight trips that are designed to progressively develop leadership, 自力更生, 信心和环境管理.

Crofton House girls start to understand at an early age how they can have a positive impact – in their peer groups, 在他们的教室里, 在自然界和他们的社区中.

通过常春藤罗盘, we learned about leadership skills – being inclusive and striving for a supportive environment. Now we are trying to implement what we learned at Crofton House.”
