WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

  • I really liked the expertise of the presenter. The opportunity for hands on learning for my students. The connections made between the classroom and the career paths connected to architecture.

    Grade 5 Teacher

  • Loved everything. The educators was phenomenal and my students really connected with her! She had a plan that was age-appropriate, everything was clearly outlined, and she was able to delegate instructions to the students in a small and large group setting.

    Grade 3 Teacher

  • From ADST to Science and Social Studies, there were MANY components that highlighted the BC curriculum throughout the project - there were also a lot of opportunities to extend what Petit Architect had taught us.
