A TRANSFORMATIVE STUDENT EXPERIENCE

Pegasus nurtures each child and their unique gifts. We encourage students to develop their talents and explore their interests. It’s a school where distinctiveness is cultivated, supported, and celebrated. As well, we recognize students’ social, emotional, and physical health is central to their academic success. In this challenging environment, students must feel confident to follow their curiosity and creativity without suffering fear of failure or the pressure for perfection. We intend to maintain an environment that both prepares students for the world, and helps them find their unique place in it.
