Education Plan

2008-2011 - School Education Plan

Quote from Parent a Advocate

“The best thing about Indus School is EVERYTHING. It is small and friendly and welcoming - the students not only receive a great education but a great sense of community and caring that I have not seen in other schools.”

How do we define success for Indus students?

At Indus School, success is defined not only in academic achievement, but in the development of the whole child. Success involves students developing the virtues inherent in each of the quadrants of: 

1. Belonging: emphasizes empathy, loyalty, and acceptance
2. Independence: relates to courage, enthusiasm, and self-discipline
3. Generosity: calls for the development of compassion, helpfulness, and thankfulness
4. Mastery: is about commitment, creativity, excellence

What makes our school good and how do we know?

People make any organization good. At Indus School the communication and cooperation between staff, parents, and students ensures the physical, emotional, social and academic needs of our students are being met. Objective data, such as provincial achievement test results, student and Grade Level of Achievement assessments, show we are meeting our primary educational objectives. Subjective indicators like parents and children crying as they say good-bye to a teacher at the end of a school year, or Grade 3 students proudly explaining how they worked out a problem on the playground, also demonstrate that Indus school is a desirable place to be.
