Principal's Message

Welcome to our school! 
 
Arundel School has a well-earned reputation for providing rich learning experiences for children in a kind and caring environment. I am committed to elevating joy on our campus.
This year, we’re focused on the following key areas as we continue to implement our Strategic Plan:

Refine our pedagogy to align with best practices that are rooted in developmental science 
Foster the attributes and skills outlined in our Learner Profile 
Supporting parents as partners in their child’s educational journey
 
We believe that school should encourage and support risk-taking, play, and the pursuit of individual passions while fostering the intrinsic motivation to learn and discover the world around us. Our goal is that students will leave Arundel as independent, successful, lifelong learners who work to achieve their personal best, innovate through challenges, and positively contribute to our ever-changing global community.    
 
Sincerely,
Kim Norgaard
