THE HIVE ACADEMY
About
The Hive Academy
At The Hive Academy we combine academic rigor with afternoon sports or arts practice following the American curriculum from Grade 6 through to Grade 12 (age 11 to 18).
Small class sizes and increased personalization of teaching provide students with an ideal learning environment without compromise. Afternoon activities are centred around students' artistic, linguistic or sporting interests allowing them to unlock their full potential.

"Je recommande cette école qui permet aux enfants de (re)prendre confiance en eux, grâce à une écoute attentive, des effectifs réduits , un enseignement de qualité, dans la bienveillance
Suzanne la directrice est une personne formidable, très bon professeur
Sur notre demande il a été possible d’organiser des cours de japonais et de guitare.
Les élèves sont stimulés dans leur créativité et leur expression orale. L’emploi du temps laisse du temps pour des activités extra-scolaires."

We pride ourselves on our personalized approach to education, knowing our students well and helping them develop their skills, confidence and passions. Our dedicated and caring teachers combine expertise, passion and a deep commitment to supporting our students’ goals. They foster learning environments that are rigorous, inclusive and supportive, encouraging students to take an active role in their education and become independent learners and thinkers.
Academically, we are committed to finding the right level of stretch for all of our students, so that each one has the opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential. Our engaged parents and families play a vital role in shaping the culture of our school community.
