While academics are at the forefront of any educational institution, at Ashwood Glen we place equal emphasis on co-curricular activities. We passionately believe that in order for our students to evolve into confident, competent young adults we must focus on the development of all aspects of child: cognitive, physical and creative.
Our co-curricular programs enable students to participate in a variety of activities during and after school hours and in the safety of the Ashwood Glen environment.
For our Junior House, in addition to the above activities, the after-school program also offers a math club, a chess club, talent shows, spelling bees, robotics / coding and a knowledge makes cents program.

The preschool transition program is designed to introduce toddlers and pre-schoolers to the rigorous routine of school and life. Our youngest age group will be exposed to the Montessori environment and have an opportunity to engage in fun-filled summer activities such as exploring the great outdoors, getting to know nature and engaging in music and songs.
The primary transition program includes a range of fun-filled activities including nature studies, intro to science, creative arts / music / dance and more. Our students gain confidence, make friends and learn to contribute to their society.
A three-week consecutive commitment is recommended for summer camp. We feel it takes time for the child to make friends and gain that comfort. For more details, please contact the office.
