About UsAstolot Educational Centre strives to meet the individual learning needs of students. Our students have the potential to reach academic goals once they understand their learning style and have the resources to succeed. Astolot students are neighbourhood children, or travel from as far as a 90 minute drive. Students may be gifted, have dyslexia, dysgraphia, or have a social or emotional need for a small, respectful learning environment.
Both students and teachers have a role in directing learning. How much responsibility each student takes depends on their personality. Ideally, each student becomes more responsible each term they are at Astolot, through the development of learning skills. The students have input into the way they learn best as they become more aware of their own learning style, they can utilize this knowledge. The method of teaching and learning varies due to learning needs and student maturity. |

Our History |
Astolot was founded by Jennifer Cowan in 1998. After working with the public school realm for 12 years, Jennifer saw the need for small, personalized classes that fit individual needs. As the school has grown in size, the philosophy of Astolot has not changed.
