- Open House –Saturday, March 21, 2026
Families are invited to learn more about Ottawa’s premier micro-school and our comprehensive academic pathways.
Join us to explore our bilingual IB Primary Years Programme (PYP), as well as our Pre-Secondary School Programme (Grades 7–8) and Ontario Secondary School Diploma (Grades 9–12). Discover how our small-school model, rigorous academics, and differentiated approach support students from the early years through graduation. Meet our team, tour the school, and learn what sets our community apart.
- Science Fair in Action
- Throughout the process, students, at all levels, have been problem-solving as they apply both the scientific method and the inquiry cycle. Through this work, they are learning and developing their ability to formulate questions, develop hypotheses, make predictions, record observations, reflect on results, refine their thinking, and make meaningful transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary connections. Just as importantly, they are collaborating as a team while strengthening their scientific vocabulary in both French and English.
- Summer Camp at AcadeCap!
Blast off into summer at AcadeCap, where curiosity and creativity come alive!
Bilingual AcadeCamp Kinder (ages 4-5) and Bilingual AcadeCamp (ages 6-9) enjoy 8 weeks of hands-on STEM learning and fun. This year’s theme: Space Exploration!

- Orange Shirt Day
As part of our school-wide recognition of Truth and Reconciliation, students across all ages reflected on the history and ongoing impact of residential schools in Canada. Through guided discussions and shared learning, they explored the importance of honouring the children who were taken from their families, the resilience of Indigenous communities, and our collective responsibility to seek truth, healing, and justice.
Inspired by the teachings of butterflies, sunflowers, and hummingbirds, students created artwork representing transformation, remembrance, and resilience. These natural symbols carry both ecological importance and deep Indigenous significance, reminding us to face the past with truth and move forward with hope.
