Inviting Gardens and Classrooms
The gardens and classrooms invites one to enter, a breath of fresh air allowing the children to capture a few rare moments of pure childhood. Allowing them to explore their curiosities, all children should be allowed to be educated like this.
Back to Nature School
I would highly recommend Chartwell house. Heather Kreush is the owner-principal of this school for children from 18 months to Grade 7. It is an intimate back to nature school, with an international curriculum, where every child is important. The horse riding lessons from an award winning coach is a big plus!

At The Singing Forest each child is treated, cared for and loved as an individual. Because of the small number of children, each child is given special attention and the teachers make extra effort to engage us about our daughter’s growth and life at school. It’s more than a play school; children are equipped with the n…

A Home Away From Home

The Best For Each Child
Driving into school every day, I would look at Nature all around me, listen to the birds as I got out of my car, watch the rabbits bouncing around and connect with the beautiful horses silently standing, eyes closed and munching, or walking quietly around amongst themselves. Their presence a constant reminder for me of…

Heather, you are such a blessing. You wouldn’t believe the impact your school has on these young lives. This year was pivotal for Nehan.
