At Sommerville Manor we believe that a good education develops a lifestyle of personal, social and academic competence. We believe too, that the accountability for achieving this is held equally by parent, teacher and student.

Our programmes are highly individualized to ensure that each student grows toward his or her own academic potential, and success is measured by progress toward personal goals.  Self-esteem, interpersonal skills and social competency are not sacrificed for academic excellence.  We consider that the development of the whole child not only prepares the individual for a fulfilled life, but also enables each to utilize academic skills more fruitfully.

At Sommerville Manor, respect for self and others is expected and modeled through a strict code of behaviour and dress.  Our staff has been carefully chosen for their professional capability and respect for the school’s ideals.

Research shows that the impact of early education is felt throughout life. Childhood should not be hurried; it should be enriched.  Sommerville Manor offers an environment in which children can flourish, in which the image of school is closely linked to home and family, in which success is not overlooked and occasional small failures do not impair confidence.

We believe that every child should have the support, encouragement and opportunity to become all that is possible.
