Traditional Indigenous knowledge is highly valued and Incorperated into everything we teach so students can develop connections to their roots to grow up full of knowledge to share for generations to come.
About Us
Sage and Sunshine Culture-Based Private School is the only school in Peterborough, Ontario, providing full-day culture-based education for Urban Indigenous children. We offer a one-of-kind educational experience for Urban Indigenous children aged 4-9 so that they can learn and grow together building strong relationships and community. Our strategic plan envisions adding another age each year.
Sage and Sunshine Education provides a supportive, encouraging, and safe environment to learn. Sage and Sunshine works together with families to create realistic academic goals that focus on the child’s unique strengths and builds on previously mastered skills. This allows them to reach their highest potential while connecting back to their culture through language and cultural teachings. Teachers will continue to develop their own skills and knowledge through professional development and cultural workshops to offer the highest quality programming. Sage and Sunshine offers an extended-day program to support families before and after-school childcare needs.
