Meet The Team

The CAB prides itself as a community built by invested parent volunteers, a growing staff of devoted professional educators, a parent board of directors and a dynamic onsite leadership team. Our model of governance brings together engagement and expertise.

We actively involve our parents in our non-profit association as board of director members, advisory board members, administrative commission, and PTA members. The board governs the financial and major decisions of our non-profit association.

Leadership Team

Our model of governance embraces engagement and expertise through dynamic parent board member involvement. As importantly is our objective to grow a strong onsite team of educators. In effort to strengthen and professionalize our mission and vision, the board recruited a Head of School in 2018.

The Head of School oversees school operations, manages the 30 staff-member team, supervises the learning program, leads communication and development, and assures budget stability with the board. Together we shall work to develop a strategic plan shaped and adopted by all stakeholders.

Director, Nancy Leclerc

Initially trained in Modern Literature and French as a Foreign Language, I taught for 12 years in middle and high schools. Eager to experiment more freely with active pedagogy, and also to gain experience in elementary school teaching, I arrived at the CAB, where I taught for 3 years before taking on the role of head of the school.

I am convinced that a child who is eager to learn learns quickly and better. For this reason, project-based learning is, for me, an essential source of motivation, due to the sense and autonomy it fosters. In my view, a school that is rooted in the present time cannot do without cultural and linguistic diversity, nor without a genuine concern for the well-being of each individual. Moreover, the prominent presence of nature in the everyday life of the school perfectly matches my love for nature. It is for all these reasons that I am fully aligned with the CAB’s mission: knowledge that has meaning, but also valuable skills and qualities.

Passionate about pedagogy, I have trained in perceptive pedagogy, specializing in expressiveness, which allows me to develop writing and well-being workshops both within and outside the school. I am committed to respecting each individual’s pace, the right to make mistakes, the quality of teaching and relationships, and fostering personal growth with a balance between mind, heart, and body.

I hope that this school can provide as much as possible to contribute to the development and blossoming of wonderful individuals, free and responsible for their choices and actions, both the children and their parents, as well as the entire school team.
