At Richland Academy, we work together to define education for a changing world so that our students are deeper thinking, confident and world ready.
We are a community of learners who are active, responsible, and compassionate global citizens.
We aim to provide a learning environment that builds intercultural understanding and respect.
Richland Academy is a warm and welcoming International Baccalaureate (IB) World school in Richmond Hill, Ontario. We are a 21st century learning community that embraces the Reggio approach to inquiry-based learning and provides opportunities for our students to develop keen critical thinking skills as they explore, investigate, collaborate and communicate with one another from Pre-kindergarten to Grade 8.

The Reggio Emilia Approach
dates back to post-war Italy, in the northern region of Reggio Emilia. The people of Reggio Emilia came together to develop a meaningful way to educate their children, and to create a better future for their community. The Reggio Emilia Approach to learning engages children in questions that they develop and investigate. Just like the community of Reggio Emilia, the image of the child as a capable, curious and creative learner is at the heart of all we do at Richland Academy

Rachel in grade 6 focused on mental health and well-being for her PYPX2020 topic.

Stop motion is an animated filmmaking technique in which objects are physically manipulated in small increments between individually photographed frames so that they will appear to exhibit independent motion when the series of frames is played back as a slow sequence.
SK students learned that in order to make their animation video look realistic they had to move their sculptures in small increments and then snap a picture, each time they moved them. It was a long process but the SK's did an amazing job collaborating with their groups by taking turns taking pictures, moving their sculptures, making sure all their sculptures were in frame and creating different settings out of the things they could find in their environment.
