The Evolution of Education
Our strategic plan is the North Star that will guide us in nurturing entrepreneurial-minded leaders who are kind and equipped to create the future they envision for themselves and the world they live in.
We strive to be the leading K-11 entrepreneurial school in Canada, providing real-world, hands-on, and authentic learning experiences that extend far beyond the classroom.
This plan is always adapting to the changing environment and as such will be re-evaluated and re-calibrated annually to ensure it remains effective and relevant. At ECS, we believe that education must always evolve.
