I’m Masha Kazakevich, principal of North 44° Academy.
I started the Guelph Outdoor Preschool because I wanted learning, playing and exploring in nature to be a big part of my child’s day, everyday. We evolved into North 44° Academy as a result of the popularity of our programs and the need for similar programs for older children.
Our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning and help each student maximize their unique potential. Our focus is academic excellence. Through a teaching approach that stresses inquiry, individualized learning and daily, significant interaction with the natural world, the curriculum comes alive for each student. We believe that children learn best when they are happy.
North 44° Academy offers:
Outdoor Preschool
Children spend as much of their day as possible outdoors, where they develop a sense of wonder and respect for the living world around them.
Our fully licensed Preschool program is based on current research of the best practices in early childhood education.
Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten program gives children a meaningful, integrated, real-world learning environment.
Our nature and play based, emergent curriculum is research based and is designed to give your Kindergarten child a solid foundation to their educational career.
Grades 1 - 8
Students discover the immense joy of learning and become powerful, imaginative thinkers and communicators that can translate their ideas into action.
The Grade 1-8 program uses a research-based methodology that brings school to life!
Your child’s education matters.
Choosing a school is a big decision. We encourage you to visit us, get a feel for our school, and ask questions. There is no obligation.
