The co-founders of Canadian Independent Micro School have a combined teaching experience of over 60 years. They bring to the Institute an excellent understanding of learning styles, individual differences, and sound educational theory. Their combined experiences enabled them to have both classroom, hands-on experience, as well as many years as administrators in top ranked Canadian Independent schools.
Our co-founders established a learning environment that encompasses the development of the total child: academic, social, emotional, physical, intellectual, moral. Education cannot be broken down into separate components as every subject area is interrelated creating a global perspective for each individual.
We also believe that knowledge without proper values is opportunity lost. Character development enables children to better understand what their contribution to society can be as they become young adults and beyond.
Such ideals that were espoused several hundred years ago have been put aside so that children are now being asked to make decisions regarding their futures well before they truly recognize their individual strengths. Parents and schools are pushing students into paths which may not truly enable success for each individual. Secondary schools and universities are channeling students into specific courses causing many students, three years after entering university, to recognize a wish or need to change programs.
Your children are facing a world that is vastly different than the one in which you were educated. The globe shrinks, interconnected societies and cultures are common; the need for understanding of global issues is necessary in all countries of the world. A society that limits the opportunities for its children to do so seriously hinders the opportunities for success in a competitive world market.
A liberal arts education enables your child to challenge, to analyze critically, to formulate ideas and concepts that stimulate discussion and creativity. By better understanding his own strengths and his own capacity to participate he will be able to appreciate the strengths in others and recognize the remarkable ability in collaborating for the common good.
認識我們：
C.I.M.S.兩位創辦人的教學生涯合計逾六十載，因此深刻了解學習模式、個別差異，以及紮實的教育理論。其中一位更擁有加拿大多所頂尖私校校長數十年的經驗，教學與行政實務兼備，並行不廢。
兩位創辦人以全人教育為宗旨：學業、人際互動、情商、肢體、智識、道德並重。教育無法拆解成各自獨立的科目，因為要塑造出具備世界觀的孩子，各個領域都息息相關。
我們也深信，徒有知識卻缺乏正確價值觀，等同錯失教育良機。品格教育在孩子長大成人之後，更能幫助他們了解自己能為社會帶來何等貢獻。
如今學校摒棄數百年前奉為圭臬的理想，以致孩子尚未真正認知自身強項，就得規劃前程。家長與學校催促孩子選擇未來方向，前路卻不見得適合學子。高中和大學要求學生選修特定課程，反而導致許多人在大四之後才認清興趣，甚或覺得有必要轉換科系。
貴子弟將來要面臨的世界與您當年受教育時的環境截然不同。國與國之間的距離縮短，不同社會、文化之間的互動日益頻繁，各國人民都必須了解全球議題。倘若孩子的世界觀受限，將來的全球就業市場競爭激烈，他們的勝算勢必大幅降低。
藉由博雅教育，貴子弟得以面對挑戰、獨立分析，闡述想法，繼而激發討論，衍生創意。因為更了解自己的強項和參予社會事務的能力，孩子得以欣賞他人的長處，明白眾人同心，其利斷金的力量。
