QMS Academic Programs - Junior School
Discover academic and personal excellence
Our philosophy at QMS is to guide students to be resilient, innovative and solution-focused learners who ask thought-provoking questions and challenge assumptions.
Our Purpose
We exist to prepare young trailblazers, because no two journeys are the same.
Be curious. Be brave. Be kind. Be you.
Junior School
Our Junior School is separated into three programs each designed for our students to foster a love for learning.
Our Kindergarten Program is a full and enriched program which focuses on literacy and numeracy skills, French, physical education, music and technology balanced with supervised play. Intellectual curiosity, confidence, and leadership are nurtured at this early academic threshold.
Our Primary Years (Grades 1–3) is designed to develop social and emotional skills and positive relationships during a busy weekly routine. Foundational skills such as intellectual curiosity, cultural understanding, environmental stewardship and service are explored throughout these primary years.
Our Intermediate Years (Grades 4–7) build upon our character during these important confidence-building years. Students are inspired to think critically, develop research skills, and expand upon their sense of curiosity. Public speaking, technology, and leadership are integrated into the academic programming as students work toward goals of personal excellence.
