Their small size allows them to respond to distinct circumstances and they take great pride in their ability to focus on the unique learning needs of each child.

Any school is, first and foremost, a place of academic learning and Green Shoots is no exception. Our small class groups, differentiated teaching and learning style, tightly-structured curriculum, and dedicated teaching staff ensure that your child will benefit from the best possible learning experience we can provide.
